1. How do I apply for a MSc Programme?

The application procedure for UNESCO-IHE's master programmes is described here.

2. When is the yearly application deadline?

The deadline of application for the MSc programmes that start on the third Thursday of October is 1 August of the same year. You have to take into account that, in case you wish to apply for financial assistance, the deadline of application for a fellowship is usually much earlier! Applications can be sent throughout the year.

3. What happens after I have applied for a MSc Programme?

After your application has been received at UNESCO-IHE we will send you a confirmation of receipt by e-mail. After that moment it takes about four weeks before a decision has been made on your academic admission. At that moment a letter will be sent to you by airmail informing you about the outcome of your application.

Funding available at the moment of application

If you have indicated that you have already found a sponsor who will be responsible for payment of the programme fees we will send you a cost indication and financial statement.

You will be requested to complete the financial form and return it to us.

After its receipt and approval we will send you your official certificate of admission, the final information and an invoice and we will arrange your residence permit for The Netherlands.

No funding available at the moment of application

If you have indicated in your application that you wish to apply for financial assistance we will give you information on the various possibilities for financial assistance in your admission letter.

4. How many years is my academic admission valid?

Once you have been academically accepted this admission remains valid for three years.
