Selection Criteria
The selection of candidates is based on the following criteria:
- Academic performance status

No consideration in the selection procedure (exclusion criteria):
- Three third attempts or more, average grade not considered.

There, the selection is checked, and a binding nomination of the candidates takes place. The International Relations and Mobility Unit will then inform the candidates about the status of their application and how to proceed.
