If an applicant submits an application for both the five-year programme and two-year Master’s studies, only the application for the five-year programme will be considered.
Waiting list
Programmes also place students on waiting lists. The decision on applicants placed on the waiting list will be published in connection with the admission decisions. The applicants placed on a waiting list, too, will have to meet the admissions criteria of the degree programme in question.
An applicant that has been placed on a waiting list may only be admitted if someone who has been admitted to the programme in question does not accept the offered place in the programme, or if someone who has been admitted only under certain conditions fails to submit the necessary documents by the end of the deadline.
