Evaluation Process

The admission decision is based on a preliminary review of the submitted application materials and the results of the oral interview.

Application Assessment Criteria

• Academic performance in field-specific subjects.
• The topic and grade of the Master’s thesis.
• Scientific activity (e.g., results from the Scientific Students’ Association/TDK).
• Motivation Letter: In this doctoral school, we require a motivation letter (max. 3 pages) instead of a research proposal. It should address the following:
  • Your motivation for joining the programme.
  • Your previous research experience and skills.
  • A brief outline of the research topics and methods that interest you.

Oral Interview

The committee assesses the applicant’s professional commitment and scientific aptitude. If the applicant does not hold a language certificate, their English proficiency will also be verified during the interview. In the 2026 admission cycle, interviews are primarily held in person, though online participation (via Microsoft Teams) is possible in justified cases.
