JOINT APPLICATION

 

The joint application to studies starting in autumn (September) is arranged annually in January (3–17 Jan in the same year). All degree programmes available via the joint application share the same application period. Joint application also means that you can apply to up to six degree programmes with one single application.

A small number of degree programmes may also offer a January study start option. To these, the joint application period is usually open in September (4–14 Sept in previous year).
Note: however that the September joint application has a limited selection of programmes on offer compared to the January joint application.

 

SEPARATE APPLICATIONS

 

Some degree programmes may have their application periods open outside the joint application period. In separate applications, the application period can vary a lot depending on the programme.

In many cases, the separate applications periods fall between the period from late November/early December to late January, for studies starting in autumn, but some universities/UAS's may also offer application options through rolling admissions over a period of several months.
