We are aware of restrictions due to the Corona crisis in several countries, and of the fact that many countries have interrupted their postal service. The university has considered alternative application procedures. Unfortunately, for legal reasons it is not possible to send your application to us via e-mail; please refrain from such enquiries. We hope for your understanding.

When shipping your application, it is important that you specify the shipment as “documents”, not as “items”. Otherwise they might not pass the customs check and consequently not reach us. Furthermore, it is imperative that all documents (including language certificates and university transcripts) reach us in one envelope. We cannot guarantee to be able to allocate individually shipped documents to your file, especially when they do not contain your application number.
