The University of Luxembourg usually charges €400 per semester – the same for EU and non-EU students – and 60% of its around 7,200 students come from abroad, from 148 countries. Many programmes are bilingual or trilingual, some are taught entirely in English, and public transport is free throughout the country. Find out how to apply, why you need at least €1,517 a month and how many hours you can work.
You apply directly to the University of Luxembourg through its online platform. You can apply for up to three programmes; the university charges an administrative fee of €100 per application.
Deadlines: for applicants from the EU, EEA and Switzerland, applications for 2026/27 opened on 1 February 2026 and close on different dates depending on the programme. Applicants from outside the EU have earlier deadlines – in 2026 their application period had already closed while it was still open for EU applicants. Plan ahead: after admission you still need a temporary authorisation to stay, which can take up to 60 days (see: Residence and formalities).
For a bachelor's programme you need a secondary school leaving certificate that gives access to higher education in the country where it was issued, and proof that you know all the languages the programme is taught in. For a master's – a bachelor's degree in a related field. The exact requirements for each programme are on its web page under "Admissions".
