Selection of Students
Students are selected on the basis of their application documents. Criteria such as motivation, aptitude, social commitment, and study plans are taken into account as well as previous academic achievements. A selection committee uses this to draw up a ranking. Based on this, the available places are allocated to the students.
Exception!
For our partner universities in North America and the Future Leaders Scholarship Program at Asian universities, the result of a mandatory interview continues to determine the allocation of places.
