The list of successful applicants is approved by the Department Assembly.

The selection process consists of two (2) phases:

1st Phase

2nd Phase

Scoring Criteria

Ranking of applicants based on the number of points they obtain, as described in the table and according to the corresponding criteria.

Interview

This phase includes a personal interview, during which each applicant is evaluated by the members of the Selection Committee in terms of personality traits, breadth of knowledge, and willingness to engage in individual and collaborative work. Interviews are conducted either in person at the Department’s premises or online.

On the basis of the total score, the list of successful applicants for admission to the Postgraduate Programme is drawn up, as well as the reserve list, in case some successful applicants do not proceed with the completion of their registration. These lists are posted on the Postgraduate Programme website, and selected applicants are informed electronically and by telephone.
