Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a spring intake?
The main intake is in autumn. Some programs may offer limited options at other times — ask us and we’ll check current availability.
What if I miss the deadline?
Depending on remaining places you may still apply, or we plan for the next intake so nothing is rushed.
How early should I start?
Ideally several months before the intake. Starting in the first half of the year gives the most relaxed timeline for documents and visa.
