FAQ - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Dear applicants,

we are very pleased about the great interest in our interdisciplinary Master's degree programmes and the numerous applications associated with them.

Trier University of Applied Sciences is committed to answering all enquiries from international students as well as possible, so general answers to frequently asked questions have been provided.

We kindly ask you to refrain from contacting more than one contact person at the same time. The contact persons distribute enquiries internally and it only slows down the process if several people have to deal with your enquiry at the same time.

We hope this has given you a good overview of the most frequently asked questions and wish all applicants the best of luck in the upcoming weeks!

Details can be found in the module handbook.
