What to clarify before choosing a university
Start with your purpose: professional specialisation, a change of direction or research? Summarise your academic background and the subjects you want to explore.
For each programme, check the institution’s current information on teaching language, course structure, deadlines and application documents. Requirements can vary between programmes.
Tailor your CV and introduction to each application. In research outreach, make the connection between your experience, interests and the recipient’s field of work clear.
