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.
