Missing a deadline is the most common reason a good student loses a place. This calendar lists the main 2027 dates for Kenyan students, in order. Individual universities can set earlier dates, so always check the course you want. Dates checked on 25 October 2026.

Before 30 November 2026

  • UK January 2027 intake: if you already have your CAS and 28 days of held funds, applying for your visa before 30 November means the current living-cost amounts apply. From 30 November they rise to £1,570 a month in London and £1,203 elsewhere.

1 to 15 January 2027

  • USA, fall 2027: most universities' regular decision deadlines fall between 1 and 15 January. Some have earlier priority dates for scholarships.

13 January 2027

  • UK undergraduate, September 2027: the UCAS deadline is 13 January 2027 at 18:00 UK time for most courses. Medicine, dentistry, veterinary courses and Oxford and Cambridge closed on 15 October 2026.

1 February 2027

  • Ontario colleges, Canada: the equal consideration date for September 2027. Popular programmes such as nursing and aviation fill quickly after this date.

February to April 2027

  • Australia, July 2027 intake: aim to apply by about April. You need time for the offer, deposit, Confirmation of Enrolment and the Student visa (AUD 2,500).

  • Canada: prepare proof of funds of at least CAD 23,448 for living costs plus tuition. Weak funds are the most common reason for refusal.

From March 2027

  • UK, September 2027: you can apply for your Student visa up to 6 months before your course starts, once you have a CAS. Start holding your funds at least 6 weeks before you apply.

March to June 2027

  • Ireland and the UK (postgraduate): many universities accept applications on a rolling basis, but places and accommodation go early. Aim to apply by March to May.

  • Malaysia, Dubai and Cyprus: these universities have several intakes a year. Apply 2 to 3 months before your chosen start date.

15 July 2027 (usual date)

  • Germany, winter semester 2027: many public universities close international applications on 15 July, and some earlier, such as 31 May. You also need a blocked account of €11,904 before applying for the visa.
