Wait for admission decision
Once we have received your complete application, it will be evaluated by our Admissions Board. All our non-selective Master's and some selective programmes offer rolling admissions, meaning you can expect an admission decision within 10 to 12 weeks after completing your application. Some selective programmes only start processing applications after the deadline. This has to do with the limited number of places available in the programme. In this case, you will receive a decision 10 to 12 weeks after the deadline. Check the Application & Admission page for the programme of your choice for detailed information.
If you are admitted to the programme, you will receive a letter of conditional acceptance. In order to proceed with your enrolment, you must accept this offer at your earliest convenience.
