All 3 notes
  • An EU/EEA citizen applies through the national LAMA BPO system, not the VDA portal; state-funded places need the VDA entrance exam, and fee-paying BA tuition is €5,676 a year.
  • VDA's own rounds for non-EU applicants were early admission to 28 February and general admission to 10 June in 2026; the 2027-28 round is expected from December 2026.
  • A programme runs only if at least four students are accepted, and applicants from another field may have to take 10 to 25 extra ECTS.
