Motivation

Besides the selection based on study results, interested students’ motivation will be assessed in an interview prior to being selected for the Top Class.

Besides your general knowledge and interest(s), the way you present yourself during the talk and the presentation will be assessed.

For the academic year 2022-2023, the selection interviews will take place in September of 2022.

Students that because of private circumstances or force majeure do not meet the admission criteria, may in some cases be admitted into the Top Class by the support committee, depending on the reasons.
