A bachelors degree in a field related to the programme the applicant would like to join (for requirements specific to this specialization, please refer to the participant’s profile section).
In principle, candidates should have a minimum of three years of practical or research experience since graduation. All applications are, however, considered on their individual merits.
English language requirements: UNESCO-IHE does not require a language certificate from native English speakers of the following countries: Australia, Botswana, Canada, Cameroon (English-speaking region), Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, India, Ireland, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Namibia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Philippines, Rwanda (English-speaking region), South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda, UK, USA, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
All other candidates must provide a certificate of proficiency in English from either the Educational Testing Service (TOEFL) or the British Council (IELTS). The IELTS score must be 6.0 overall on the academic test.

The TOEFL scores must be:

for the paper test (PBT): 550 + TWE 4.5

Important note

UNESCO-IHE may assess applications before receiving the results of an English test. If accepted, applicants will receive a conditional letter of admission, which may be used to apply for a fellowship. Once the test results are received, if they are sufficient, applicants will be sent a formal (unconditional) letter of admission. However, UNESCO-IHE must receive satisfactory test scores before applicants may start a programme.

Admission requirements PhD programme
The main requirement for a PhD study at UNESCO-IHE is that candidates should hold an UNESCO-IHE MSc degree with high qualification. An MSc degree from another university or institute, equal to the standard of UNESCO-IHE, may also be acceptable. If a candidate is not yet in the possession of an MSc degree, but has an interesting research proposal and proven track record, he or she may be admitted to the UNESCO-IHE MSc programme first, as part of and in preparation for the PhD research. PhD candidates will only be accepted after their research proposal has been approved by UNESCO-IHE’s Academic Board. The PhD degree of UNESCO-IHE is awarded jointly with a relevant Dutch University, which ensures that it is embedded in the prevailing higher education legislation.
