Admissions

A Luxembourgish secondary school diploma or foreign diploma recognised as equivalent by the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth.

The recognition process is not handled by the university. For more information, please visit the website of the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth in Luxembourg. This process can take several weeks, so we recommend applying as early as possible.

Applicants who do not possess their secondary-school certificates and/or diploma recognition by the application deadline will be automatically rejected. In such cases, we recommend applying the following year.

The main language of instruction is English. However, a small component of the curriculum will require students to use a second language — either French or German.

A B2-level certificate in English required. Language certificates currently accepted.

No certificate is required for French or German, although a B1 level is recommended.

• 1 copy of your secondary school leaving certificate including grading (+ official translation if other languages than French, German or English)
• If your secondary school certificate is not Luxemburgish, a copy of the recognition is mandatory (please see here more information)
• 1 certificate proving that your English level is (at least) B2 according to the CEFR European standard
• If desired, 1 certificate proving that your French or German level is (at least) B1 according to the CEFR European standard

• 1 CV
• 1 covering letter (around 1500 words)
• If desired, letters of recommendation that may support the application or any other document considered useful
• 1 copy of ID or passport
• 1 copy (both sides) of health insurance / social security card + validity date (Non-EU students can get this in Luxembourg)
• 1 ID photo (size 45×35 mm, in color, clear background)

Credit transfer requests should ideally be submitted at the time of application. For more information on  recognition of prior experience, please refer to the following websites:
