Second admission round for autumn semester
Students with citizenship in a European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland can apply in the Second admissions round for autumn semester. However, we recommend that all international students apply in the first admission round so that you have time to make arrangements for accommodation before the start of the semester.
Non-EU citizens who need to apply for a residence permit are not recommended to apply in the second admission round since it is near impossible to obtain a residence permit before the semester starts.
- Application period: March 15 – April 15
- Notification of Selection Results: July 11
Admission round for spring semester
International students can apply for our distance learning courses as well as the master's programme Communication for Development, which start in the spring semester. Students who need to apply for a residence permit should not apply for on-campus courses.
