Go back

The current situation limits international travel. However, we do advise you to proceed with your admission procedure since we expect the academic year to start as planned in 2021-2022 or slightly changed according to the situation. In the unlikely event that you've finished your admission procedure and would not be able to start next year, the BME programme will be flexible in terms of finding a solution!
