Application status

In preparation

You have started an application, but you have not submitted it yet. This means that your application was not received by us and will not be considered.

Submitted

You have submitted your application online. You must now wait for the application to be processed by the Admissions Office. Due to the large number of applications we receive every semester, processing your application may take a few days. Please be patient and do not ask for status updates.

Valid

Your application was processed and can be considered for admission because you have fulfilled the formal application requirements. This means that you have uploaded all the types of documents that are required for application purposes. If there are any missing documents which will are not mandatory for admission but may be relevant for enrolment, they will be shown in the application portal. If you receive admission, you can submit these during enrolment.

The application status "Valid" does not necessarily mean that you will be offered admission. You will receive our decision after the application deadline. Please check on our website whether your programme has restricted admission or has scheduled an aptitude test.

In progress / Temporarily excluded

Your application has been processed but cannot be considered for admission because essential documents are missing. Please log in to the application portal to see what these documents are. Please upload the missing documents before the deadline in the application portal ("Home" - "Document upload"). If you are unsure why a document was not accepted, please double check the admission requirements of the programme you have applied for. You can search for the programme on ourwebsite.

Excluded

Your application is not valid and will be excluded from the admission process.

The application status can change, for example when additional documents are received, or your application is checked a second time etc. You should therefore always check your status again before the end of the application period.
