Applicants with a Bachelor’s degree completed in India require an additional 3 years of professional experience and a degree “with distinction”. There have been students with a Bachelor's degree from India enrolled in the degree course since it began. Students from India form the largest group of foreign students and make a valuable contribution to campus life and to lectures. However, the large number of applications from India and past experience have shown that it is necessary for us to alter the entry requirements. With this alteration, we wish to achieve a higher ratio of applicants to admitted students and avoid disappointing many motivated and enthusiastic students. Studying in an international environment requires a good mixture of different nationalities, languages, genders, etc. If, in the future, we receive as many applications from another country as we do from India, we will, of course, also alter the entry requirements for these countries as appropriate. We would like to state that these measures were not introduced to discredit the quality of our applicants from India. Like all of our students, they are highly valued and very welcome. We appreciate your understanding.
