Frequently asked questions
- Don’t include a formal language test in this application. If you are nominated for a host university that demands a formal language test, you will do this when applying for the host university.
- Remaining seats will be offered to students who have not received a seat in the first selection round. The remaining seats are distributed according to the selection criteria. There are no extra application rounds.
- There is always a risk that you won’t be admitted to the host university. The reason for this is often because the student has not done enough research about the host university and does not fulfil the language or grade requirements.
- If you are not nominated in this application round you can apply as many times as you want!
