Scholarship assessments and results
We have appointed a committee to judge all essays. The judges will select the three students whose essays will have impressed them most to receive the scholarship. The decision of the jury is binding and you will be informed about it via email before 15 May.
Please note that you will only be awarded the scholarship after you have been conditionally accepted and have met all terms and conditions of enrolment. Once the scholarship has been definitively awarded, the relevant amount (€ 5000) will be waived from the tuition fee as being the last instalment.
By submitting your essay, you are giving us the right to publish it, if we wish to. Scholarship winners are also expected to participate actively in the programme and its evaluations, become an ambassador of the Master programmes, and contribute to the internationalisation of our institution.
