How to apply as a degree-seeking student
Application submitted – what happens next?
Letters of Admission for Bachelor's programs with unrestricted admission are available for download in the inbox of CaMS, usually within a few days of submission of the online application. Applicants are also notified by email.
Since the admission procedures for Master's programs vary considerably, there is no fixed delivery period for Letters of Admission/Rejection for Master's programs. Applicants to Master's programs with restricted admission can expect to receive their Letters of Admission/Rejection approx. four weeks after the application deadline. Applicants will be notified by email as soon as a Letter of Admission/Rejection is available for download in CaMS.
