English proof at B2 level
The methodology refers to accepted language skills at minimum B2 level unless an exemption applies. Applicants should use the official language-skills annex before assuming a certificate is accepted.
File evaluation and online interview
Academic record matters
Because the route is file-based, transcripts, diploma results and documented achievements are central to the application.
Interview is eliminatory
The methodology describes an online interview lasting up to about 10 minutes, marked as admitted or rejected.
Admission is conditional
Final enrollment still depends on recognition or letter-of-acceptance steps, tuition payment, original documents and the study contract.
