More information

We organize 8 starting dates per year. Our academic calendar is based on a quarter system with four 10-week quarters per year that consist of two 5-week terms each. We refer to these quarters as Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer, and to these terms simply as A and B. Our program’s flexible structure and modular design allows you to optimally plan your studies and choose from among multiple starting dates in October, November, January, February, April, May, July, and August.

You can complete a Bachelor program in a full-time format within 3 academic years. Alternatively, you can complete the program in a part-time format within up to 6 academic years, depending on our course planning and your course selection. Completing half of the typical workload of a full-time format will equal twice the typical duration. The more flexible you are with your professional or other activities, the more courses you may be able to join in order to complete the program faster.

We schedule most courses on weekdays throughout the day, typically in blocks of 3 hours between 8.30 and 18.30, but there may be several evening courses between 19.00 and 22.00, weekend courses on Saturdays, and/or seminar courses with visiting faculty in two or more consecutive days. Some courses may be scheduled in a hybrid format, partially on-campus and partially virtual, or in a fully virtual format. When students combine on-campus and virtual courses, we refer to that as a blended program.

  • a high school diploma for a solid foundation (Students without one may qualify for our Undergraduate Foundation program.)
  • fluency in English for effective communication and interaction

We work with a rolling admissions process and do not set specific deadlines to apply because of our multiple starting dates. Applications are welcomed and reviewed on a rolling basis. We do advise students to apply early and formally accept their application so that everyone can plan ahead. We also advise students to allow sufficient time from the moment of their formal acceptance to plan their stay abroad (where applicable). Refer to the Admission Information section for more details.

Program Fees cover matriculation and tuition services provided by the school. They do not include accommodation, living expenses, travel, transportation, health insurance, study materials, or other personal costs. Matriculation services are administered by the school’s headquarters, while tuition services are delivered through the local campus of study. Additional fees may apply, including the Application Fee and Registration Fee, which support the school’s application and registration processes.

For complete details on fees, payment schedules, and related policies, please consult the Fee Schedule and our Financial Policies.
