Admission requirements

  • Applicants must be enrolled in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year of their undergraduate studies.

  • A minimum GPA of 3.0 (equivalent to 7 out of 10 or a B+) is required.

  • A good command of the language of instruction of the course is expected. While a formal language certificate is not mandatory, applicants should demonstrate at least B2-level proficiency. Insufficient language skills may affect grades or result in course failure.

Exceptional cases:

  • Students in their 1st year of undergraduate studies may be admitted if they have an excellent academic record (GPA ≥ 3.5 / 8 out of 10 / A), possess a strong command of the language of instruction and submit a motivation letter and a recommendation letter from a faculty member or tutor.
  • Non-degree holders, professionals, or experts may be admitted to specific courses if they can demonstrate relevant experience and interest.

All exceptional cases will be evaluated by the Academic Director to ensure eligibility and suitability for the program.
