How to apply?
First you need to apply for a Letter of
Admission from UNESCO-IHE, which confirms that you are
academically qualified for the specialisation of your
choice. You can find the Application
Form at the back of the brochures. Electronic copies
of the brochures for each specialisation can also be
downloaded from the respective web
links above. In these brochures you will find
information about the content of the specialisations
and the requirements for admission.

How to send application form?
Please note that UNESCO-IHE cannot accept
applications that are sent by e-mail or fax. We can
only accept applications that are sent by airmail. If
you are late in sending your application you
may have to consider to send it by DHL or EMS. Also do
not send us an advance copy as e-mail application. We
anyhow will have to wait for the original and
this may only cause confusion. UNESCO-IHE can only
accept complete applications. This means that with
your application you should enclose:
copy of degree obtained, copy of academic transcript,
two reference letters, copy of results of a TOEFL
(required score 580) or IELTS (required score
6.5) English language test.

Letter of Admission, but no fellowship?
A variety of fellowships are available. A full
overview of fellowship opportunities is available at
our website

(http://www.unesco-ihe.org/education/fellowships.htm).
Although we advise you to explore all the fellowship
opportunities, we would like to bring to your
attention the Netherlands Fellowship Programme
(NFP). If you are a candidate from a so-called NFP
country (see www.nuffic.nl) we encourage you to apply
for an NFP fellowship, even if you pursue other
possibilities as well. The form for the NFP
application can be downloaded from www.nuffic.nl.
Please note that, for the MSc programmes,
which start in October 2006, the deadline for
submission of applications for the NFP programme to
the Netherlands Embassy varies
(31 December 2005 and 31 March 2006, depending on the
regulations of the Embassy in your country). Please
consult the Netherlands’ Embassy for
the appropriate deadline, or download the information
from the NUFFIC Website. The request for a Letter of
Admission should be submitted to UNESCO-IHE
well before the deadline for receipt of the NFP
application by the Embassy. This is because the Letter
of Admission is needed by the Embassy with the
NFP application, some countries also require you to
pass an official English test as well.
Send us your Application Form today! This is
easy to do, it is free of charge, and does not commit
you to anything. However, it is your first step to
follow an MSc Programme at UNESCO-IHE. Further
information about all our educational programmes and
products and about UNESCO-IHE can be obtained from
our website www.unesco-ihe.org.

We would highly appreciate if you could also
forward this information to interested colleagues or
other contacts in your network.
