Application instructions
Step 1:

In the mandatory field "Accommodation - Have you applied for housing through ESS?"  Write Yes or No.
For students coming for shorter time than 1 semester for example clinical rotations, please contact the international coordinator for instructions on how to apply for housing.
Step 2:
After all the data has been submitted, the application form will be made available as a PDF document. Print this document and ask your International coordinator responsible for your faculty/programme to sign and stamp it.
Send your application together with the following documents:

• Transcript of records containing all your courses and grades so far
