UK year-end university intakes and 2024 visa shift

As the year draws to close, international students eyeing the UK for their higher education face a significant change.

Starting January 2024, the UK will no longer allow international students to bring dependants on a Student visa, unless enrolled in a postgraduate research programme. This policy shift adds urgency to the application process for those wishing to study in the UK before the rule takes effect.

To help you navigate this tight timeline, we've compiled a list of five UK universities with intakes before the end of the year. We've also included important application dates, so you can plan your journey.
