📝 How to Apply
Check your eligibility route
Review Euro-FH’s master entrance options for international applicants and confirm that your first degree credits (180 or 210 credits route) and required work experience meet the stated entrance requirements. If your first degree focus is not business, Euro-FH notes that you may need to support your application with a motivation letter explaining your interest and objectives. Start preparing documents early so you can request any official transcripts and language proof in time.
Submit your application with the required documents
Apply using Euro-FH’s official application process and submit the required documentation for processing your application. Euro-FH states that you need your CV, a digital copy of your university transcripts (grades) and degree, and documents covering your work experience since completing your bachelor’s degree. Prepare certified copies and any additional items that Euro-FH lists in its master application checklist.
Complete the English proficiency requirements
Ensure you can demonstrate the required English proficiency level (C1 as stated by Euro-FH). If you want to rely on a proof route based on previous study in English, prepare the official confirmation/letter from your institution stating the language of instruction. Make sure your English proof is uploaded with your application so admissions can assess it without delays.
