The admission process is open for high school graduates having a baccalaureate diploma or equivalent, regardless of the year of graduation, provided the high school is accredited according to the legal provisions.

The status of budgeted/fee paying student is updated after the 1st semester of studies in the 1st year and at the end of each year of studies. The students will be ranked according to their academic performance.

The applicants who have previously benefited from the state budget financing for bachelor’s studies may benefit of a budgeted place at ASE only for the remaining period of studies out of the regular three years. The students who want to be considered for a budgeted place by redistribution will have to register their original baccalaureate diploma/equivalent at the faculty by the end of the 1st semester of the 1st academic year.
