\nAccess studies with professional experience<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you wish to apply for a Bachelor or Master programme of the University of Luxembourg and you do not have a diploma at the required level, you may nevertheless qualify for admission through recognition of your professional experience. With the recognition procedure the University assesses whether your professional experience and qualifications are equivalent to the level required to enter the study programme for which you are applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be eligible for a recognition of professional experience, you need to have a minimum of three (3) full-time equivalent years of professional experience in a field of relevance to the programme (e.g. three years of full-time or six years of part-time work). All types of professional experience can qualify, whether as an employee or a freelancer, through voluntary work or while self-employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that recognition of professional experience for access to studies is only possible for for EU, EEA and Swiss nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n \n

To apply for a bachelor or master programme of the University on the basis of professional experience, please follow the application process as explained on the Student Department (SEVE)<\/a> web pages. Please also make sure that you consult the admission information for the study programme to which you intend to apply. You can find this information on the programme web pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

When submitting your application, please indicate that you have at least three full-time equivalent years of professional experience.<\/p>\n\n

The procedure for recognition of professional experience is initiated by the University after you have submitted your application. If the University is considering your application for admission and you do not have the required diploma but you do have relevant experience, the University may start a procedure for the recognition of professional experience. If so, the SEVE will ask you to provide additional evidence of your professional experience. The academic committee in charge of assessing your experience may also invite you to an (online) interview.<\/p>\n\n

If at any moment during the recognition process you decide that you no longer wish to pursue your application, please notify the SEVE.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
