Not sure what to choose?
Answer a few questions and the site will show programmes from the catalogue that fit your age, education, language and budget. This is a preliminary match: eligibility is verified from your documents.
Universities

The university catalogue is being filled in
We add universities as their conditions are verified. Leave a request — a manager will suggest options for your situation and tell you about available universities.
Grants and funding
Four types of funding — please do not confuse them.
Full grant
Funding covers the main costs. What exactly is included — tuition, accommodation, stipend — is stated in the conditions of the specific programme.
Grant with tuition discount and university-set accommodation terms
A tuition grant with accommodation conditions set by the university. The scope of coverage is defined by the programme.
Partial grant or discount
Only part of the costs is covered; the student pays the rest.
Paid programme
The student pays all costs. A paid programme is not a grant programme.
Funding conditions, requirements and application deadlines depend on the university and the specific programme. Details are confirmed before documents are submitted.
