Important Visa Information

According to the experience of recent years, Iranian nationals are presently not able to receive a visa for Egypt. This means that students with Iranian nationality would not be able to attend the mandatory semesters at our partner universities in Alexandria and Cairo, Egypt. Hence, Iranian nationals would be unable to successfully complete their studies. Therefore, we regret to recommend that Iranian nationals not apply for the M.Sc. Urban Design - Revitalization of Historic City Districts, but pursue other master programmes. Update: Recent experience has shown that Syrian nationals may presently also experience difficulties in obtaining a visa for Egypt.
