Verify current authority ↗What to verify for your case
- Your exact institution, programme and study level are valid for the route you intend to use.
- Academic prerequisites, language scores and documents are checked at programme level.
- Tuition and real living costs are kept separate from the immigration authority’s minimum financial evidence.
- Deadlines are verified for the actual intake and scholarship cycle.
