Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree* awarded by a university or a higher education institution.

Recognition of the awarding institution

Degree scope and credit requirements

The scope of a relevant degree awarded by a higher education institution must be equivalent to minimum 180 ECTS credits or at least four years of full-time study. The degree must give eligibility for Master’s degree studies in the awarding country.

Applicants in Final Year

(*) Applicants in their final year may apply provided they will graduate by 60 days prior to the start of the INNOTISSUE master’s program course period. If the applicant is not able to graduate on time or fails to deliver a degree certificate by the given deadline, their conditional acceptance to the programme will be cancelled.

(*) The GPA for the 3.5-year period is declared; for programs with a 3-year curriculum, the GPA from the 2.5-year period may also be considered.
