Application Process
In comparison to the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, the application process at European universities
is a little more complicated. We highly suggest Bangladeshi students take support from professionals like HT
Global LTD.
The following are some facts about the university application process.

-
Compare the universities and choose several. The reason for multiple selections is that, if your
application is rejected by one university, there is no risk in waiting for the next intake.
-
Check whether you have to apply directly to the university or to a centralized admission system, like in
Germany, where the centralized admission system is called
Uni-Assist.
- Create an account on the respective platform by inserting the required details.
- Fill out every piece of information—personal, academic, financial, etc.—in the application form.
-
Please note that, depending on university requirements, you may need to send hard copies of the
documents, attested or verified by a notary public. If required, send the documents to the
university via FedEx or UPS.
-
The required documents are a passport copy, certificates and transcripts, the IELTS/TOFEL report or
respective country’s language test report, recommendation letters, a statement of purpose, a CV,
financial documents, etc.
-
Please note that there is an application fee. The application varies from country to country. However,
you should estimate paying 30 to 150 euros.
