About the application process ...

The student application and selection procedure will be organized in such a way that students will apply to the programme via LUT University (the coordinating partner) and then will be selected by a panel of SE4GD partners (Admission board) based on the selection processes outlined here.

  • The registration for the application procedure will be online via the eMundus service. This service allows students to submit their applications and the needed appendices and allows the selection committee to collaborate in the selection process. 
  • The application deadline for the applicants will be 18.1.2023 15.00 (UTC+2).
  • The applicants’ status will be updated as the process produces it.
  • A second application period will be opened for self-funded students later in spring.

Self-funded students need to fulfill the minimum requirements of the programme, and the programme reserves the right to restrict the number of self-funded students.

Selection of the applicants ...

…is made in 3 steps (in both application periods):

  • The Admissions Office at LUT University checks eligibility of the applicants according to the outlined requirements. Applicants need to fulfill the host universities’ common student admission requirements for enrollment purposes.
  • The eligible applicants will be ranked by the Admission Board according to the Ranking Criteria (Quality) established by the programme consortium. Each academic partner will participate in the applicant evaluation process as each applicant is evaluated at least by two partners. Based on the ranking a predefined number of students  will be interviewed for final offers.
  • The Admissions Office of SE4GD checks the authenticity of the certificates and diplomas of the selected students.

The decision concerning approved candidates will be made based on the annual Admission Board selection meeting’s results and interviews. 

The list with candidates signed by academic representatives from all hosting universities will be sent to the Agency. The students will be immediately informed by e-mail and via admission portal by change of their status (accepted, rejected or on the reserve list).
