2) Request a preliminary acceptance letter / invitation letter

If required, you can request your preliminary acceptance letter / invitation letter from our International Office. Even if it is not listed among obligatory attachments to the application form, the submission of a preliminary acceptance letter is recommended, since it can simplify and expedite the admission procedure.
