Introduction
Global Intake Education Consultancy (GIC) helps Nepali students apply for UK universities with proper planning, clear guidance, and scholarship support. We cover the two main intakes – September and January – plus select summer intakes (April/May/June) at some universities. To get admission on time, Nepali students must start processing at least 6 months before the desired intake.
Why Choose UK for Higher Education?
- Internationally respected universities, flexible courses (undergraduate, postgraduate, foundation), and faster course duration (1 year Master’s).
- High visa success rates when applications are prepared properly.
- Graduate Route work visa: up to 2 years (or 3 for PhD) after graduation, although new rules may reduce to 18 months.
UK Intakes: September, January & Summer
| Intake | Typical Period | Timeline Planning |
| September (Autumn) | September–December | Start application by March |
| January (Spring) | January–April | Applications open after prior intake closes |
| Summer Intake | April–June (limited uni’s) | Available at selected universities only |
To enroll in the September intake, you must begin processing 6 months in advance (i.e., applications open around March). Similarly, for the January intake, planning starts six months prior—open after September deadlines. Summer intakes are offered by a limited number of universities—check availability early.
Application & Processing Time
- Processing time is around 6 months—from counselling, university application, CAS letter, to UK visa application.
- Begin 6 months before intake to meet deadlines (IELTS, document gathering, scholarship, and visa interview readiness).
Scholarship Support
Universities offer scholarships ranging from £2,000 to £5,000 for international students, depending on your academic profile and choice of university. Additionally, major scholarships like Chevening, Commonwealth Shared, GREAT, and university‑specific awards may cover more.
