9. Application Timeline:

1) Master's Double Degree Programs Application

This will be conducted in two batches. The first batch is for Double Degree programs with German institutions and the French ESCP Double Degree program only, due to the need to complete the APS review for Germany and the on-site video interview with ESCP in advance. Therefore, applicants for these programs must submit their application materials earlier. Applicants not selected in the first batch can apply for double degree programs in the second batch, but must resubmit the online application and a new signed hard copy of the application form to the relevant person. If no other application materials have been modified, these do not need to be resubmitted. Details are as follows:

Note:

• Online applications must be completed before the deadline. Students who have completed their online application but fail to submit hard copy materials by the deadline may submit these (including English language test results) up to one week late. Applications submitted after this extended deadline will be invalid. When competing for places at the same institution, applicants who submit materials after the deadline will be considered after regular applicants.
