Selection Procedure

All international applicants are required to pass an online aptitude test, which examines basic knowledge in Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science. A few days after the end of the application period, you will receive an email containing a personal link to the aptitude test and login credentials. The test will take 60 minutes and has to be completed within a few days. The test result will be part of the selection procedure.

If you are on the shortlist for the programme, you will be invited to a personal interview. The interviews will probably be conducted via video call in June 2024.
