Entry requirements & how to apply
Requirements depend on your qualification, citizenship and chosen programme. Check the university’s current instructions before preparing your application.
Academic entry requirements
Bachelor’s applicants need an accepted school-leaving qualification and must meet the course’s subject and teaching-language requirements. The English-taught example on this page is a master’s programme; check undergraduate language options separately.
Language & course requirements
Check the actual teaching language and accepted proficiency evidence. Preparatory study, entrance assessments and additional subject requirements depend on the course.
For a master’s degree
Check the recognised first degree, relevant subject background and grades required by the programme. Some courses also ask for professional experience, a portfolio, research proposal or an interview.

Qualification recognition
Master’s applicants need an accepted first degree with the required computing credits and English evidence. English master’s availability does not mean bachelor’s degrees are taught in English. For regulated professions, verify recognition with the authority in the country where you intend to practise.
Recognition, legalisation and translation are separate steps. Confirm each receiving authority’s requirements.
Choose your intake before you apply
Check the master’s annual admission round. Non-EU application and document deadlines may fall well before the autumn start.
Choose your programme
Compare subjects, qualification, campus, teaching language and total cost. Confirm eligibility with the institution.
Prepare and apply
Check the application route, gather the required documents and complete any assessment by the course deadline.
Plan your arrival
After admission, follow the applicable immigration process and arrange funds, insurance and accommodation.
Visa, work & student life
Student entry and residence
Non-EU/EEA students generally need a study residence permit before arrival, with full-time admission, funds and accommodation evidence.
Use the current official checklist for your citizenship and country of residence. University admission and immigration approval are separate decisions.
UDI: study permits (opens in a new tab)
Use the instructions for your actual citizenship and residence jurisdiction.
Working during and after study
Student permits normally include limited part-time work rights and different holiday conditions. Check the permit itself and any separate graduate job-seeking route.
Use confirmed funds for tuition and essential living costs; a student job or graduate job offer is not guaranteed.
Prepare for your arrival
Apply early for student housing and confirm permit, insurance and police-registration arrangements before departure.
