Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend starting 10 to 14 months before your intended intake. European universities have strict deadlines, and credential verification procedures (such as German APS or Italian CIMEA) require several months of advance preparation.

Yes. While some German research universities specifically seek a 4-year degree (or Master's equivalent), countries such as France, Italy, Ireland, and several Dutch and Finnish universities readily accept 3-year degrees with proper credit conversions.
