Important information for students with diplomas issued outside the EU, EFTA, and OECD (does not apply to the IB and EB diplomas):
In addition to the standard documentation, you will be required to obtain an individual recognition statement for your foreign diploma issued by the Director of NAWA. This document is necessary for both the visa process and university admission.

The procedure is free of charge and can be completed online via the SYRENA system.
Please note that issuing the statement may take up to 60 days. More details and a user manual can be found here.

All eligible applications are evaluated and ranked by the Consortium’s Selection Committee with a maximum score of 50 points according to the following criteria:

• Grades Average of academic results of the student within his/her classes.
  
• Adequacy of the student’s background (academic courses) for the SBBE programme.
  
• Relevance of merits associated with the CV.

The admission policy is intended to ensure equal opportunity of access to higher education for qualified  students both educated in and outside the EU. In the first instance the Selection Committee selects those students who meet the Admission Requirements and afterwards establishes a ranking considering merits. Then shortlisted 50 candidates are invited for an on-line interview. Finally, the Committee prepares the list of candidates selected for SBBE progremme as well as the reserve list.

The candidates from both lists are informed accordingly by e-mail by the SBBE the project manager. The candidates selected for SBBE progremme must confirm their participation within one week.

After the decision of the selection is communicated, applicant has the possibility to appeal against it to the Consortium Selection Committee (procedure and appeal form).
