Universities & admissions Questions

An LOR is not essential for every program, but German universities that ask for one typically want 1 to 2. Each should be written on the recommender's official letterhead, signed, and in German or English as the university requires. Requirements vary by program, so check with the university before applying.

The Summer 2027 intake in Cyprus is small and mostly offers short programs, intensive English and foundation tracks, not full degrees. Classes usually start around May to June 2027. For a full bachelor's or master's, the Fall or Spring intake is typically the better route.

An MS in Artificial Intelligence in Germany typically lasts 4 semesters, which is around 2 years. For English, universities often ask for around IELTS 6.5 or a TOEFL iBT score of about 87. Requirements vary by university, so check each program page for the latest scores.

Choose a university and course, check intake limits and deadlines, gather documents, submit your application, review your offer and Letter of Acceptance, then apply for a study permit on the official IRCC website. Give yourself plenty of time, since a university does not grant permits.

Pick a program that admits international students in summer, apply through the university portal, receive your I-20, then book the visa. Typical fees are the SEVIS fee of USD 350, visa application fee of USD 185, and a possible Visa Integrity Fee of USD 250.
