The MSc International Business has two starts a year — September and February — with fixed deadlines that differ for EU and non-EU applicants. For a September start the deadlines are 1 May (non-EU/EEA) and 1 June (EU/EEA); for a February start they are 1 November and 1 December respectively. The September 2026 intake therefore closes on 1 May 2026 for non-EU applicants and 1 June 2026 for EU applicants.
