Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • A 2.2 honours degree or equivalent in engineering, computing or a related discipline.
  • Depending on the qualification, TUS may require relevant experience or a qualifying route.
  • International qualifications are assessed for equivalence rather than converted using one universal percentage.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • The exact full-time Software Engineering page requires IELTS 6.5 or an equivalent recognised English test.
  • Ask the Global Office to confirm accepted alternatives and any component minima in the current admission conditions; the course page does not supply a complete test-equivalence table.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • September is the advertised full-time route and the university has published 2027/28 international fees.
  • Confirm that Software Engineering is selectable for September 2027; its course page does not print an exact 2027 start date, and different versions of the international FAQ still show different application cycles.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • No final September 2027 non-EU closing date was verified on the checked programme, admissions and FAQ pages.
  • The course advises early September-start applications through the Global Office.
  • Do not reuse a June 2026 deadline for the next cycle.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The 2027/28 non-EU annual schedule lists EUR 17,500 for MSc Software Engineering.
  • The cited full-time route is one year.
  • The same fees page lists a EUR 50 processing charge for direct applicants; the current FAQ explains that it is deducted from the final fee amount.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • The 2027/28 central international schedule offers postgraduate academic-merit scholarships up to EUR 4,000, determined by the Global Office at application.
  • Combination limits apply.
  • The course page instead quotes EUR 1,000–3,000; ask the Global Office which terms apply and only deduct the award actually stated in the offer.
