On the basis of the evaluation of all submitted applications, the Admission Committee will invite shortlisted applicants to online interviews in order to make the final admission decisions.

During the interviews, the Committee will assess applicants’ academic competence and their potential for the programme by getting to know more about the applicants’ motivation and vision, communication competencies and personal attitudes. The interview is also an opportunity for the applicants to know more about the programme and to demonstrate their interest and commitment.

Following the results of the interviews with the shortlisted applicants, the Admission Committee will allocate one of the following statuses to each application:

• Admitted to the main list (qualified for a full EMJM grant)
• Registered in the reserve list (qualification for a full EMJM grant pending)
  If an applicant of either a main or a reserve list is finally disqualified for a full EMJM scholarship, he/she is eligible to be admitted with a partial EMJM grant.
• Admitted for a partial EMJM grant
• Not admitted

The Admission Committee informs the applicants about the results of the selection. The applicants will be required to confirm their participation in the programme.

After the applicants confirm or decline their participation in the programme, the Admission Committee reveals the final admission results.

1. The appeal must be sent via e-mail info@greenanomaster.eu within 10 working days from the date of receipt of the Admission Committee’s decision.
