Applications for Master's courses are always assessed on a case-by-case basis following the receipt of a complete application.
Applicants are also required to fulfil the University's English Language Requirements by means of a valid Secure English Language Test. Access more information in this regard. Alternatively, a final year grade of 2 or better in English in the Matura can be accepted in lieu of the English test.
