How can I contact International Admissions?

Every international degree programme has its own International Student Advisor(s), also called ISAs, who are happy to help you during the application process.

The International Student Advisors of your programme of interest will be your main point of contact and can help with questions about the programme, admission requirements, and specific questions related to applying with an international diploma for an English-taught programme.

Our support staff, the International Support Assistants, can assist applicants with general application questions.
