The final general deadline is 15 January 2027 at 23:59 Central European time, and late applications are not accepted.

The page lists six master's programmes. The Public Policy programme's page shows dates starting on 1 October 2027, so this listing does not cover it. The other five ask for a GMAT or GRE result.
