Ranking criteria

This programme has a limited number of study places. Applicants with a legal claim for admission are admitted first. If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of available study places, the remaining places are allocated between two sorting groups. Non-fee-paying and fee-paying applicants are assessed according to the following ranking criteria.

Non-fee-paying applicants

Study places will be offered to qualified non-fee-paying applicants based on the average mark from your qualifying Bachelor’s degree. Based on the marks from your qualifying Bachelor’s degree, a simple average is calculated on your local scale. If your average mark falls in the upper third of your local scale, 3 points are given, an average mark in the middle third of the scale elicits 2 points, and an average mark in the lower third elicits 1 point. If you have not completed your Bachelor’s degree at the time of application, your average mark is calculated based on the marks you have received at the time of application.

Fee-paying applicants

Study places will be offered to qualified fee-paying applicants based on an interview.
Further information about the interview will follow.
