Courses with different starting dates
Most programs start at the beginning of the national academic year, in late August or early September (this can vary annually). Some programs start at other times, such as January or February. You can find these below. Programs may be added or dropped during the academic year. The program page also lists the program's start date.
Choose the course that suits you
While it's good to know when a program starts, it's not wise to choose a program based on its start date. You'll likely end up with a program that's not a good fit. After you apply, you'll always have an introductory meeting to determine if the program meets your expectations.
