After you submit
Admission decisions are normally issued 2–3 months after the submission deadline and appear in eApply. ESOP is evaluated by the programme admissions committees and awarded by the Rector at the end of March. Keep February clear for a possible interview.
This calendar is ESOP, not ESKAS. ESKAS country windows and a 1 September 2027 start belong to the Confederation programme.
