Information for international students

They will guide you through the application process and explain how to navigate the necessary formal requirements as smoothly as possible.

Visas and residence permits

EU citizens do not require a visa, whilst non-EU citizens need to apply for a visa and/or a residence permit. These allow you to reside in Luxembourg for a period of more than three months.

Before applying for a visa, you will need to successfully complete your application for a place at university. Once we have checked your documents and you have been officially accepted, we will send you a Certificate of Acceptance and your Study Agreement. You will also receive a Letter of Admission. You will need the Letter of Admission to apply for your student visa and/or residence permit for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg at the Luxembourg embassy:

Direction de l’Immigration et de l’Asile
26, route d’Arlon

More about the Application Day

The language of instruction in all courses at LUNEX is English. You should therefore be able to speak and understand English well. You have the opportunity to participate in the Pre-Bachelor Foundation Programme and improve your English if your language skills do not meet the entrance requirements for study at Bachelor level.

We will inform you in the course of the application process which supporting documents have to be provided and when. In principle, we need the following documents for your application:

  • Copy of your personal ID
  • Copy of the highest educational and/or vocational qualification
  • Language certificate (if applicable)

Depending on the degree programme (Bachelor/Master) and your country of origin (EU/non-EU), further documents may be required. More details will be provided to you in good time.

To secure a study place, we recommend that you send us your documents as soon as possible – but at the latest two weeks before the start of your studies. If you are an applicant from outside the EU, you should note that the application process for a visa can take four to 60 days. Please make sure you give yourself plenty of time.
