Verified against official sources · last checked July 2026 · see sources
Aston runs three intakes a year for the MSc Business and Management — September, January and April — and admits on a rolling basis rather than to fixed rounds, so it does not publish one hard application deadline and popular intakes can fill before the nominal cut-off. The practical advice is to apply early, particularly if you are an international applicant who needs time to arrange a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) and a student visa. Confirm the exact current-cycle timeline on Aston's own page, and line it up against the other schools on our [deadline tracker](/deadlines).
Exact dates for the upcoming intake are confirmed against the school's official admissions
page as they are published. See every European school's confirmed rounds side by side on

Frequently asked questions
What is Aston's 'guaranteed internship', and does it apply to this master's?
Aston guarantees an industry internship to every full-time taught master's student — including the MSc Business and Management — for those joining in the 2025/26 or 2026/27 academic year, and it is open to both UK and international students at no charge. Aston's Careers and Placements Team works with you to secure the placement, which you complete part-time (up to about 20 hours a week) alongside your studies; it typically runs for around two months, and in-person, remote and hybrid options are available. Taking part is optional. It is the programme's most distinctive feature: a taught MiM that builds real, CV-ready work experience into the degree, which matters because a pre-experience master's biggest weakness is usually the thin work history it leaves you with. Confirm the current terms of the scheme on Aston's own guaranteed-internships page.
