How does the application process work?

The application process consists of two steps with several sections:

Step 1: 

  • Personal data
  • Prior education (all higher academic education)
  • Work experience (all work experiences obtained after bachelor graduation)

My transcript is four pages transcript and I cannot upload them because there is only one field

You can merge several separate pdfs into one pdf. You can do so online or in your preferred pdf-reader.  In Adobe Acrobat reader for example, you will find it under:  File, combine, add files.

 

My pdf is too big to be uploaded because the maximum size is 2MB

You could open your document in Adobe Acrobat, click Document and then Reduce File size.  Another option is reducing the size of the document by printing it to pdf. There are plenty of tips online about this.

 

I did not receive my activation mail

It might be in a different folder than your inbox. Please check all folders in your mailbox.

 

It is not clear to me how I have to select a study

After you have filled in your personal data, education and work experience, you have to go to scroll down to the bottom of your page with personal information. There is the option to select your study.

I have problems when filling my application on my mobile phone

We advise you to complete your application and upload documents not on your mobile phone but on laptop or computer.

The application deadline mentioned on the programme website is different deadline on the application website

 

The deadline of application for academic admission and for a certain scholarship are different. The application deadline for a certain scholarship can be found on the page of scholarship information and is usually much earlier than the deadline of application for academic admission. The Application deadline which is mentioned on the application website is the deadline for application academic admission for those who pay the cost of the programme via other means and not depend on a scholarship. Please be aware that the date mentioned on the application website should be read as day-month-year (e.g. 1 July 2022 (not to be read as 7th January 2022)

 

I receive an Error message as follows:

Error :(

Something went wrong when trying to display this page.
Reload the page or go to another page to continue.

Reload  or go to Home

Solution for this problem:

If you see this message, the system is indicating that you are trying to access the webpage via an expired browser session. This behaviour often occurs when people do not close their web browser tabs and try to continue on in an existed (expired) browser session. To resolve this; please close all un-ihe.org tabs in your browser. Close the web browser and start a fresh browser session. It sometimes also occurs when someone’s’ internet connection is unstable and disconnects/reconnects to the server with different network information. This gets seen as a session hijacking attempt and thus the session is also invalidated. In this situation, the only option is to either keep trying or to change to a more stable internet connection.

 

If you think you have run into a problem that is not described here, please let us know by sending a mail to info@un-ihe.org, mentioning Problem Applying. Please upload a screenshot of the error message (preferably of the full screen).

 

When I go to the home page for creation application in order to start section 2, there, instead of having area to start application it goes direct to where it come from or turn back again to starting  point.

Nowhere I find the possibility to continue with section 2.
