Selection Procedure

The Joint Scholarship Selection Committee (JSSC) of the consortium is responsible for the selection procedure. The Selection Committee consists of one representative of each partner and is chaired by the coordinator of the programme. The JSSC evaluates the applications based on the following selection criteria (maximum score of 100 points): A rating scheme has been developed and will be used by the JSSC prior to the attribution of qualification points.

Scores are given according to the following selection criteria:

  • A maximum of 30 points for the overall grade of the previous degree (or the preliminary grade status at the time of application, minimum of 120 ECTS), and importance of university in the country where the degree was obtained.

  • A maximum of 30 points for the marks of relevant study subjects during the previous degree, other relevant academic or extra-academic qualifications, and/or relevant professional/industrial or international experience.

  • A maximum of 20 qualification points for your motivation. In your application you have to answer 5 motivation questions. The answers you have given to those questions will be evaluated. Criteria for the evaluation are specific reference of the study programme, a clear description of own qualifications and objectives, coherence of the intended career with the study programme, and congruence of the applicant’s motivation of study with the orientation of the study programme.​

  • A maximum of 20 qualification points for the two letters of recommendation. Criteria for the evaluation of the applicants are scientific and personal potential of the candidates, especially with regard to the study programme, relevance of previous studies, and, if applicable, professional qualifications and performance with respect to the scope of the FRM programme.

 

The added value of a scholarship for the applicant and his/her career will also be considered. Particularly applications from those who have already obtained an MSc degree in a related area from a renowned university will be carefully analysed on motivation.

 

Admission and Evaluation Procedure

A first control of eligibility for admission is performed by the student admission office of IHE Delft, as the coordinator of the master programme. 

Legalised documents accepted by the coordinating institution will be automatically recognised by the other HEIs within their competences. The minimum GPA (Grade Point Average) depends on the country of study, as defined by IHE Delft (based on a thorough comparative assessment done at a higher level in the Netherlands). In case of doubt, the programme coordinator is contacted. 

Following the eligibility check, a shortlist of around 50-80 applicants eligible for a scholarship is built by the coordinator of the programme in close collaboration with the student admission office, based on the relevance and grade of the obtained bachelor degree and followed disciplines, relevant work experience, other academic qualifications or activities, the number of applicants per country and the letter of motivation.

 The shortlist of 50-80 applicants is then distributed over the four full partners of the consortium, so that they can prepare their individual scoring. During a JMC selection meeting a few weeks later, one or more representatives of each partner institute meet. Each applicant on the short list is being discussed separately after which each partner provides their individual score. The scores provided are based on the following selection criteria:

  • A maximum of 30 points for the overall grade of the previous degree (or the preliminary grade status at the time of application, minimum of 120 ECTS), and importance of university in the country where the degree was obtained.

  • A maximum of 30 points for the marks of relevant study subjects during the previous degree, other relevant academic or extra-academic qualifications, and/or relevant professional/industrial or international experience.

  • A maximum of 20 qualification points for your motivation. In your application you have to answer 5 motivation questions. The answers you have given to those questions will be evaluated. Criteria for the evaluation are specific reference of the study programme, a clear description of own qualifications and objectives, coherence of the intended career with the study programme, and congruence of the applicant’s motivation of study with the orientation of the study programme.​

  • A maximum of 20 qualification points for the two letters of recommendation. Criteria for the evaluation of the applicants are scientific and personal potential of the candidates, especially with regard to the study programme, relevance of previous studies, and, if applicable, professional qualifications and performance with respect to the scope of the FRM programme.

 

​The application of each shortlisted candidate is discussed in the selection meeting and every partner provides score for that applicant.  The scores provided by each partner are combined and a list from highest to lowest scoring candidate is made. The results are then discussed and finalised among the four partners. ​If there are many candidates from the same country, the lowest scoring candidates of that country, may be placed on the reserve list in order to achieve a good distribution among the different countries.

Minutes of the selection meeting are prepared, including day and place of final decision, and signed by the four country coordinators within the JMC. The list is combined with the number of available EC grants for partner and programme Countries, to obtain two final lists: one of applicants with approved grants, and one with applicants placed on a reserve list, who may be entitled to a scholarship when one of the applicants with an approved scholarship decides to withdraw. 

For the applicants with approved grants, the general Admission Office of IHE sends an invitation letter admitting the awarded applicants to the programme, and once they have accepted, the Admission Offices of the other HEIs also admit the awarded students. All students are informed regarding the outcome of the selection procedure. Applicants are informed about the possibility of, and procedure for, submitting and appeal. 

Those applicants who meet the academic admission criteria, but have not received a scholarship, will be academically accepted to the programme and motivated to search for alternative funding. Self-funded students are admitted to the programme if they satisfy the admission requirements. ​

The language of instruction is English, and all students must possess adequate English language skills as a requirement for admission. Notwithstanding, additional language course are be provided at IHE for improvement of English speaking, understanding and writing skills. A dedicated English teacher tests all students upon arrival on their English proficiency and, for those who need it, additional courses are organised. Other than the English language, students have the opportunity of learning Dutch, German, Spanish and Slovenian during their stay in the respective countries
