Application Deadlines

It is extremely important that you manage the timing of your application carefully and submit a completed application.

IE School of Arts and Humanities operates on a ROLLING ADMISSIONS PROCESS. As such, there is NO EXPLICIT DEADLINE for applications for a particular intake.

However, given the limited number of places in the program and the diverse student body, we recommend that you initiate the application process as far in advance as possible, roughly one year in advance of the desired program intake. This is especially important if you plan on applying for a scholarship as only accepted students may apply for a scholarship.

Personal Interview

Once the application form has been assessed, candidates may be called to interview, which may take place on campus, at an admissions event, or by phone should you be unable to see us in person. A personal interview is recommended as it is an essential part of the admissions process.

The interview goes into the data provided in the application in greater detail and determines whether the candidate's profile will stand him or her in good stead for the content and demands of the program.

The Admissions Committee's Decision

Following the interview, each application will be subject to a final, overall review by the Admissions Committee.

Candidates will be notified of the Committee’s decision after this final review.

Admission is valid for two years and is granted to candidates on the basis that IE School of Arts and Humanities considers that they have the right profile for the program.

Admission does not automatically guarantee a place on the next intake. To secure a place on a particular intake, a place reservation must be made. Please refer to the “Place Reservation” section in “Payment Information” for more details.
