Admission will be on a rolling basis. Hence, we advise that you apply at the earliest possible.
Our master’s degree programmes have a limited number of places. If we receive more qualified applications than available spots, admission will be based on pre-defined selection criteria and a point-based system specific to each programme. You can find these details under Programme specifications → Academic Requirements → Limited Intake and Selection Criteria.
Important: Grades achieved after the application deadline cannot be included in the assessment.
Applications are processed on a rolling basis, and we maintain a waiting list.
