What are the general English language requirements for admission?

For most programmes, the minimum requirement is an IELTS score of 6.0-6.5 or a TOEFL iBT score of 80-90. However, some competitive programmes, particularly at the Master's level, may require a higher score, such as IELTS 7.0. Always check the specific requirements of your chosen programme on the official website.

What is a Numerus Fixus programme?

A Numerus Fixus programme is one with a limited number of available spots due to high demand. For these programmes, selection is not based on a first-come, first-served basis but on a decentralized selection procedure where candidates are ranked based on their credentials, motivation, and sometimes test results.

When should I apply for a Bachelor's programme?

For most Bachelor's programmes, the application deadline for non-EU/EEA students is 1 May, and for EU/EEA students, it is 1 June. However, for Numerus Fixus programmes, the deadline is much earlier, on 15 January. It is crucial to check the specific deadline for your programme well in advance.
