Application Process, Materials and Timeline

We have approximately 15 places available with scholarship and 20 places available without scholarship. Each application is considered in its entirety, including transcripts, extracurricular and voluntary activities, work experience, personal background, letters of recommendation, personal statement and language skills. Through individual consideration, the Admission Committee seeks not only to identify individual characteristics that are important to academic success in the programme, but also other qualities that promote vitality, diversity, and excellence in the student body.


 

Application Process

There are two tacks through which you can apply.
 

YOU MUST CHOOSE ONE TRACK OR THE OTHER.
IF YOU APPLY TO BOTH YOUR APPLICATION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED !
 

Admitted students who have applied without requesting a scholarship cannot subsequently be taken into consideration for a scholarship request.

Applicants who have requested a scholarship when submitting their applications can be admitted to the programme only if their scholarship request is also successful.  We therefore strongly recommend to apply to the programme through the scholarship procedure only if the requirements for obtaining a scholarship are met.
