The online application portal is open for each application round from 15 September to 15 January (start of studies: October).
In addition to the information on personal background and motivation and the upload of all relevant documents, the contact details of two reviewers for letters of recommendation should also be provided. The reviewers should be informed by the students in time about the planned application.
All applicants will be informed in the second half of January whether they have qualified for the second selection round (15-minute online interviews at the end of January).
During a third selection round in mid-February, admission decisions are made on the basis of two personal interviews (30 minutes each).
Applications are welcome even if the required degree has not been awarded by the time of application, as long as this will be conferred before courses start in October.
