International University

Everything you need to know about the admissions process — from application through enrollment.

Whether you’re applying for an undergraduate or graduate program, our admissions process is designed to be simple, transparent, and personalized — guiding you from your first inquiry to your first day on campus.

Stage 1: Submit Your Application

Submit the following documentation to your enrollment advisor to be considered for a Conditional Offer Letter:

  • Student Application Form
  • Copy of a valid passport or valid National ID (National ID for Distance Learning degrees and non-visa applicants only)


Stage 2: Receive Your Conditional Offer Letter (COL)

Once received, your application will be reviewed by our Admissions Department to determine your eligibility for a Conditional Offer Letter.

Note: Scholarship application will be provided upon the submission of your application for admission to your program of choice. Our team will review your application and contact you regarding the outcome. Eligibility criteria can be found here.


Stage 3: Receive Unconditional Offer Letter (UCOL)

If your initial documents meet Schiller’s entry criteria, you’ll receive a Conditional Offer Letter outlining the requirements that must be fulfilled before receiving an Unconditional Offer Letter.

All requirements can be completed in any order.

    • Proof of Deposit Payment
    • Academic Interview: An opportunity to share your academic goals, ambitions and program of interest
    • Academic Documents: Transcripts and Diploma (current or final in the original language)
      • If not in English, a sworn English translation will be required.
      • Note: Your educational qualifications will undergo a thorough review as part of the application process. Your acceptance or further progress in the application process will depend on the outcome of this review. 
    • Online Readiness Test (ORT): link included in your Conditional Offer Letter
    • Scholarship Application Form
    • Degree Path Selection: Choose your degree pathway (Schiller International University, University of Roehampton, or Dublin Business School).
