A study gap of up to 5–7 years is accepted, the intake is September, and the package covers one year of tuition, visa fee, document translation, interview preparation, and job and accommodation assistance.

If you want a degree from inside the European Union, taught in English, without an IELTS score, three small countries are worth a serious look: Latvia, Lithuania and Slovenia.

- Why this country and university?
- What did you do during your gap?
- Who is paying, and what will you do after the degree?
Interview preparation is part of the package — use it.
