High demand
In connection with the application deadline of 27 May and the transition to the new application system, many of us are now receiving many inquiries. Therefore, it may take longer than usual before you receive a response. We will answer you as quickly as we can. It is a good idea to read through our information about applying in the new application system before you contact us.
