Procedure

There are two calls for application. The same process will be adhered to for the acceptance of applicants in both calls. However, those who successfully pass the selection process in the first round will be given preference for admission. 

It is essential to note that the first call is the only time in which non-European graduates will be considered. For non-EU applicants who have not yet completed their studies, the deadline for the submission of academic transcripts and the application for equivalency will be mid-May. 

Those students who are pursuing their degree in Europe and therefore will obtain a degree in the Bologna framework and who at the time of application have not completed their studies can take part in both calls but must submit their final transcripts by September 5th.

The admission process in every call has a 2-step procedure.
