You should apply for admission through Portalino not later than 1 April. If you meet the deadline, admission is guaranteed.
If you wish to study the same subject at Master's level, and complete your Bachelor's degree in the spring semester, you should apply for admission not later than 1 April. If you complete your Bachelor's degree in the autumn semester, the application deadline is 1 November.
Admission to a Master's programme is guaranteed if you study the same subjects immediately after having completed your Bachelor's degree and meet the application deadline. If you do not meet the application deadline, your right to direct admission is lost. This means that you are no longer guaranteed a place in the requested programme.
As a future full degree undergraduate at RU wishing to enrol directly in a Master's programme after completion of your Bachelor's degree you apply for admission to a Master's programme through the course enrolment/student identity card renewal at Portalino. You only need to be aware that you must apply for admission earlier than usual and you must tick an extra box in a special "Master's programme tab".
You should apply for admission through Portalino not later than 1 April. If you meet the deadline, you may be admitted, but there is no guarantee.
If you wish to be admitted to a Master's programme with a different subject combination than that of your Bachelor's degree, and complete your Bachelor's programme in the spring semester, you must apply for admission to the relevant subject(s) no later than 1 April. If you complete your Bachelor's programme in the autumn semester, the application deadline is 1 November. If you do not meet the deadline, you cannot be admitted to the Master's programme.
If you wish to earn a Master's degree in a different subject combination than that of your Bachelor's degree, a place on a Master's programme is not guaranteed. If you are not admitted to the requested programme to study your new subject combination, a place is reserved for you to study the same subject combination on your Master's programme as that of your Bachelor's programme.
If you apply for admission to a Master's programme to study a different subject combination than that of your Bachelor's degree, you must apply for admission through the course enrolment at Portalino.
You are not allowed to be readmitted. If at a later stage you wish to be admitted to a Master's programme, you must apply for admission. You may be admitted, but there is no guarantee.

As a RUC Bachelor, you have previously had the option of applying for readmission. As of February 2011, this has changed. It means that you must apply for admission and not readmission. You can find information about how to apply and an application form here.
If previously, you have been admitted to a Master's programme and have obtained a minimum of 1 ECTS, you may apply for readmission as previously. It is a prerequisite that you wish to study the same subjects as the ones you have previously been admitted to study. Otherwise, you must apply for admission again, see the above.

If you meet the application deadline, you have the possibility, but not the right, to be admitted. If you are not admitted to the requested programme to study the new subject combination, you may continue your current Master's programme. If you do not meet the deadline, you cannot be admitted to the Master's programme.
If you have commenced a Master's programme and wish to change subject, you must apply for admission through the course enrolment at Portalino.
