1. Proof of Citizenship
Applicants must hold citizenship from one of the following countries: EU27, EEA, the United Kingdom, or Ukraine. Please be aware that you will be required to upload proof of citizenship (a valid passport or national ID) as part of your application. This verification is mandatory, as the programme is EU co-funded and therefore limited to nationals of these eligible countries.
2. English Language Proficiency
Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate sufficient English proficiency to participate successfully in the programme. Proof of English proficiency must be uploaded with your application.
Acceptable qualifications include:
- IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent certified tests.
- Alternatively, English proficiency may be assessed through a test or interview conducted by the Admissions Board.
- Applicants who have: completed a degree in an English-speaking country, earned academic qualifications fully conducted in English, or worked in an English-speaking environment for at least two years, are exempt from submitting proof of English proficiency.

Applicants from other disciplines may also be considered if they can demonstrate relevant knowledge in digital skills and information technologies, such as quantitative methods, problem-solving, and numerical competencies. Such cases will be evaluated by the Digital4Business Admissions Board through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process, based on professional experience and a portfolio of evidence.
Applicants who have graduated from programmes lacking embedded technical problem-solving components must demonstrate additional technical proficiency (e.g. data analysis, digital business applications) and strong problem-solving abilities beyond their EQF Level 6 qualification. This can be shown through industry certifications, further qualifications, or certified professional experience.
Candidates who do not meet these criteria may be invited for an interview and additional assessment to determine their suitability for admission.
