• Personal background: extracurricular activities

Language requirements depend on the programme to which you are applying. When needed, test results must be attached directly into the online application. Should the language proof of proficiency be missing by the deadline of the selected programme, your application will not be taken into consideration.

If you are applying to two programmes with different requirements, you must meet the highest level required.

• Personal statement

Write your motivation letter (or 2 letters if you’re applying for 2 programmes), in the dedicated section of your online application. 

Make sure you write your letter in the language requested for the programme.

Applications that do not meet this requirement will be deemed incomplete and will not be considered for evaluation

Please provide us with proof of enrollment for the current academic year if you are not able to provide an academic transcript AND you are enrolled in a higher education institution.

Additional required documents depending on your profile 

Please do not overload your application with non-requested documents. Should you decide to submit optional or non-required documents, please do so judiciously and sparingly, ensuring that they enhance—rather than dilute—the key strengths of your application.

We only take into account the compulsory documents included in the application when it is ready for the first assessment. We will not take into account supporting documents provided later on (transcripts obtained at the end of the year, for example), unless we have specifically requested them.
