Selection criteria:
Selection criteria:
Selection criterion | Wage | Points | Source of information | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Study results | 50% | 0-10 |
| The applicants are ranked based on GPA. The method is used to order them from the best to the worst (10 points for the best to 0 points for the worst average). In case of the number n of applicants is higher than 11, the procedure suggests to put them in descending order and rank from n to 0. To receive numbers between 0 and 10 one should divide the result by n and multiply by 10. |
Motivation | 25% | 0/5/10 |
| The letters supplied by the candidates will be assessed by Partners, both in terms of content and form. The assessment includes students’ interest of the topic and motivation to participate in the programme as well as candidates’ language competences. The grade of assessment could be 0, 5 or 10. In case of two different assessments the final result will be the average. |
English knowledge | 25% |
|
The final score of the applicant is calculated as a weighted average of the points received from assessment of the student’s motivation letter and study results. At this stage all Partners take also into consideration the question of equal representation of genders and applicants with special needs.
