September enrolment
The application deadline is 1 April 2015. You can apply online through the web form below.
Please note that if you are also applying for an AES scholarship, the deadline for application is 15 January 2015.
February enrolment
Although some of our Master’s programmes allow for enrolment in February, we highly recommend international students to enroll in September.
Enrolling in February means that you will start halfway into the programme and will thus be taking the courses in a less than optimal order. Please contact the programme coordinator if you are considering enrolling in February.
Deadline enrolment February:
- 1 November (non-EU applicants)
- 20 November (EU/EEA applicants).
