Rolling admissions schedule for the 2025/26 intake

Priority deadlines

Three so-​called "prio­ri­ty dead­lines" have been set for the 2025/26 ap­p­li­ca­ti­on and selec­tion pro­cee­dings. Sub­mit­ted ap­p­li­ca­ti­ons are bat­ched and pro­ces­sed ac­cording to these prio­ri­ty dead­lines. This means that the pro­ces­sing of ap­p­li­ca­ti­ons sub­mit­ted after a par­ti­cu­lar prio­ri­ty dead­line will be de­lay­ed until after the next dead­line. Plea­se note the fol­lo­wing:

• The ad­van­ta­ge for po­ten­ti­al stu­dents is the op­por­tu­ni­ty to apply early and se­cu­re a place in the WU pro­gram of their choice

Online application

Ap­p­li­ca­ti­ons are sub­mit­ted using the on­line ap­p­li­ca­ti­on tool. Stu­dents in­te­rested in more than one of WU's English-​taught pro­grams must apply for all pro­grams of in­te­rest at the same time and order their pre­fe­ren­ces ac­cording to first choice, se­cond choice, etc. Plea­se note that in­di­vi­du­al pro­gram ap­p­li­ca­ti­ons may re­qui­re dif­fe­rent in­for­ma­ti­on and do­cu­ments, and that only com­ple­te ap­p­li­ca­ti­ons can be con­side­red for fur­ther pro­ces­sing.

Results of the application and selection process

Each prio­ri­ty dead­line is fol­lo­wed by a pro­ces­sing and selec­tion phase. Ap­p­li­cants are in­for­med of their sta­tus after com­ple­ti­on of this phase. Stu­dents selec­ted for a pro­gram will be sent an ad­mis­si­on offer. Since ad­mis­si­on to WU's English-​taught MSc pro­grams is restric­ted to one pro­gram per ap­p­li­cant, stu­dents who have ap­p­lied for more than one pro­gram will be of­fe­red a place in the pro­gram of their hig­h­est pre­fe­rence they are ac­cep­ted for.

In the mas­ter pro­grams Eco­no­mics, In­for­ma­ti­on Sys­tems, Quan­ti­ta­ti­ve Fi­nan­ce, Socio-​Ecological Eco­no­mics and Po­li­cy as well as Sup­ply Chain Ma­nage­ment pre-​selected ap­p­li­cants may re­cei­ve an ad­mis­si­on offer in ad­van­ce to the re­gu­lar pro­ce­du­res. Pre­re­qui­si­te is that the pro­gram was mar­ked as first pre­fe­rence upon ap­p­li­ca­ti­on and that the ap­p­li­ca­ti­on seems to be of out­stan­ding qua­li­ty or spe­cial in­te­rest for the pro­gram.

After re­cep­ti­on of the ad­mis­si­on offer ap­p­li­cants have 10 days time for ac­cep­t­ance of the offer and pay­ment of the ad­mis­si­on de­po­sit.
