Selection procedure
Candidates are selected on merit and according to the following criteria:
- undergraduate academic results
- postgraduate academic results (if applicable)
- practical proficiency
- personal motivation
Feedback from referees (if applicable) is also taken into consideration to evaluate an applicant. All applications are subject to the availability of research funds and laboratory space.
Students who successfully meet the acceptance criteria, are firstly accepted provisionally if the current degree is not completed. The students must pass their exams or thesis with a minimum average of 60%, before they can be finally accepted for the postgraduate study. An unofficial email of acceptance from the DVO will then be issued. The students are however required to wait for the official acceptance letter from the University to register for their studies.
