Apply & more

The selection procedure does not differ for ERASMUS or worldwide cooperations. A selection committee of the faculty decides on the basis of the submitted documents which applicants will be accepted. If necessary, some or all applicants may be invited for a personal interview with the members of the selection committee. The selection committee informs all applicants about the decisions as soon as possible. If the selection panel is unable to fill all the available places (due to insufficient qualifications or lack of applicants), applications submitted later may also be considered. Applications will then be processed in the order in which they are received.

This semester, the selection committee is composed of the following persons. They are available at any time and happy to answer questions about the application. 

Dr. Andreas Schwarz
Head of Group Public Relations & Technikkommunikation.
