Admission Criteria

Your situation

  • You want to apply for a Master’s programme
  • You are a non-EU citizen without a Luxembourg residence permit
  • You have one of the following:
    • an EU, EEA or Swiss Bachelor diploma (not recognised under the Bologna process)
    • a non-EU degree.

Your criteria

  • Registration of diploma


    If you have not yet obtained your Bachelor’s degree (or certificate of achievement) at the time of the application period for the chosen study program, you are not eligible, as third country applicants must have obtained their degree to apply.

    Your Bachelor’s degree is accepted by the University as long as it meets the eligibility criteria of the chosen program and the recognition conditions established by the Bologna process (180 ECTS, level 6 of the European Qualifications Framework).

    You must hold a Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent diploma to enrol in a Master’s program. Please note that an ND (National Diploma), HND (Higher National Diploma), BTS (Brevet de Technicien Supérieur), or DUT (Diplôme Universitaire de Technologie) are not equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree.

    Any incomplete registration cannot be carried over to the following academic year.

    You will need to restart the admission process with a new identification number and upload your documents again. You will be subject to the rules in effect at the time of your new admission application regarding application fees and eligibility criteria.

    Acceptance of an application for one academic year does not guarantee its acceptance for subsequent years.

  • Deadline

    Please submit your application by the deadline applicable to third country applicants indicated on your admissions portal.

  • Language Skills

    You must show proof of your language skills according to the requirements and prerequisites of the chosen study program.

  • Residency permit

    If your application is accepted, you will be notified by email of the next steps to follow.

    You will need to apply for a temporary authorisation to stay from the Ministry of Home Affairs – Directorate of Immigration. Your complete file must reach the ministry by postal mail before July 1st.

    To finalize your registration, you will need to present yourself at the university admissions office with your temporary authorisation to stay (issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs) and your Bachelor’s degree registration to the Register of Titles (delivered by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research) upon your arrival in Luxembourg, and before November 15th of the academic year in question.

    We will then provide you with the final admission letter, including the amount of tuition fees and health insurance contributions to be paid.

    In case of admission acceptance, you will need to request your criminal record to undergo your immigration procedure. We strongly recommend you to request the criminal record of your country of residence in advance, to accelerate the procedure with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We suggest you request this document no later than the beginning of April, even if you have not received the result of your application.

  • Payment of enrolment fees

    You will pay your enrolment fees once you arrive in Luxembourg. The amount to be paid is indicated on the web page for your study programme.
