We check your credits before you apply, not after a rejection

What you need by the time you apply
These are the requirements at the time of application, not at the start. It's best to start 12–24 months ahead: language, selection and documents take time.
Wherever you have a gap, the matching step of the programme will help.
Or the final year of study. We'll put the documents required at the time of application into a register for each programme.
We take your credits into account and calculate them against each programme's requirements — in the audit and during selection.

Questions about master's admission
Can I apply before I get my degree?
Yes, in your final year of study. We'll put the documents required at the time of application into the register of requirements for each programme.
How is the first step different from the bachelor's?
There are no tests: your bachelor's largely sets the direction. In the interview we clarify the specialisation and your career goal, and in the audit and selection we take your credits into account and calculate them.
What are credit transfer and recognition forms?
Universities check which credits from your bachelor's count towards the programme's requirements. We calculate the credits during selection and prepare the credit transfer and recognition forms for your applications.
When should I apply for a master's?
Much earlier than for a bachelor's: deadlines run from 01.09 of the previous year to 15.07. The earlier you start, the wider the choice of programmes.
Why a programme rather than separate services?
As separate services, the same steps with 18 months of curator support cost from €4,335: «Start» €847, Express €1,497, Relocation €897, enrolment €197 and curator support €897. And that's the minimum: the programme includes the visa, a repeat application, re-selection of programmes and a curator for the whole period — at no extra cost, plus the guarantee year¹.
What if I don't get in?
The guarantee year¹ applies: a repeat support cycle with no extra charge for our services, under the terms of the contract. This is not a guarantee of admission — the university makes the decision. If you need an admission guarantee with a refund, that's a separate product, Guarantee+, through partner private universities.
I don't know exactly when to apply yet. Is that a problem?
No. In the first steps, while working on the strategy, we'll decide for certain, and if needed we'll discuss moving to a later semester. The contract price stays the same.
Applying for a master's? Start with an interview — €97
This isn't a sales call: we go through your situation, honestly assess your chances and map out a route. If we start the programme, the €97 is credited towards its price.
