Since the admission procedures for Master’s programs vary considerably, there is no fixed delivery period for Letters of Admission/Rejection for Master’s programs. Applicants to Master’s programs with restricted admission can expect to receive their Letters of Admission/Rejection approx. four weeks after the application deadline. Applicants will be notified by email as soon as a Letter of Admission/Rejection is available for download in CaMS.
