Your situation

• You want to apply for a Master’s programme
• You are a non-EU citizen without a Luxembourg residence permit
• You have one of the following:
  • an EU, EEA or Swiss Bachelor diploma (not recognised under the Bologna process)
  • a non-EU degree.

Your criteria

• Registration of diploma
  If you have not yet received your Bachelor diploma by the application period for your chosen study programme, you cannot submit your application online, as non-European students are required to be in possession of their diploma to apply.

  Your diploma is accepted at the University of Luxembourg for all programmes, but it needs to be registered in the register of certificates kept by the Higher Education Department in the Luxembourg Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

  • Learn more about the procedure

  If your application is accepted, you will receive a letter informing you of the next steps to take. You will have until 15 November during your first study semester to submit your temporary authorisation to stay (autorisation de séjour temporaire – issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and proof that it is registered at the Ministry of Higher Education in person at our offices. You will then be given a letter of final admission.

  If you fail to submit these documents, you will not be able to continue studying at the University of Luxembourg

  Please note that if you are not able to finalise your enrolment, it is not possible to defer admission to the next academic year.
  You will have to apply from scratch, with a new ID number, and upload your documents again. The rules on application fees, language certificates, etc. will apply to you as they do for any new candidate.
  Acceptance for a previous academic year does not guarantee acceptance of any subsequent applications.

• Deadline

  You are required to apply for a visa and residence permit for Luxembourg.

  Please submit your application by the deadline applicable to non-EU citizens indicated on your programme web page.

  Make sure that you check the specific deadline for your study programme. Deadlines vary from one programme to the next.

• Language Skills

  You will need to show proof of your language skills at the level indicated for your chosen study programme.

  • Find out which certificates we accept

• Residency permit

  Once you have been accepted onto the programme, you will also have to apply for a Luxembourg residence permit. This request must be submitted directly to the Luxembourg government by 1 July at the latest.

  In case of admission acceptance, you will need to request your criminal record to undergo your immigration procedure. We strongly recommend you to request the criminal record of your country of residence in advance, to accelerate the procedure with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We suggest you request this document no later than the beginning of April, even if you have not received the result of your application.
