• Here.

• Applicants must use the online application form. Please do not sent documents directly by email. The online application system provides templates for the letter of reference and the recording of academic results.

• Students from all countries can apply to the IT4BI master programme.
• Students should have been awarded a Bachelor’s degree (i.e., the equivalent of 180 ECTS), from an accredited university. The university has to be listed in the International Handbook of Universities published by the International association of Universities, or be included in the following university rankings:
  • The Times Higher
  • Academic Ranking of World Universities
  • QS World University Rankings

  
  Degrees with a major in Computer science will be preferred.
• Students must be able to demonstrate proficiency in English by means of an internationally recognised test equivalent to level B2 in the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

• Candidates applying to IT4BI who do not have yet obtained the bachelor degree at the time of application deadline, may nevertheless apply to the Master. In this case, if accepted, it will be conditional.
  Students applying for a scholarship must upload proof of obtained bachelor degree no later than the deadlines specified in the IT4BI website.

• Indeed, you can apply to IT4BI, but students with major in Computer Science will be ranked higher. Please provide as much information as possible about your working experience in the domain of BI or Computer Science in general in order to counterbalance the fact that you don’t have a major in Computer Science. That will increase your ranking.

• For these questions, please see the application manual.

  delivering the degree. We are working on that particular issue.
