Selection process
The selection process involves two stages. The first stage (preselection) will be based on a review of the applicants' documentation. Preselected applicants will move on to a second stage: a personal interview for assessing the degree of alignment between their application and what the program offers in academic terms.
The selection process will be conducted by an Admission Committee that will be defined each year and will be made up by three people: the Director of the Program, a UAH academic, and an academic collaborator. Interviews will be conducted by two of the three members of the Admission Committee, according to a predefined model. Applicants' documentation and interviews will be assessed using a rubric (included in appendix 2). After being selected, applicants will be asked to sign a sworn statement expressing their ability to meet the Program's time availability requirements.
