When to apply for a September 2027 start: the deadlines by country
In short: for a September 2027 start the first deadlines have already passed (Oxford, Cambridge and UK medicine on 15 October 2026). The next ones: Finland’s joint application 7 to 21 January 2027, the UK’s main UCAS date on 13 January, Sweden and Dutch capped programmes on 15 January, other Dutch programmes on 1 May, and Germany’s standard winter-semester date of 15 July (often earlier). Government scholarships close earlier still, from November to February.
