The evaluation of the applications submitted by the candidates within the given time-frame is being conducted by the candidates selection committee.

Candidates are ranked based on a number of evaluation criteria. On the basis of the above evaluation process, an ordered list of candidates, which are considered suitable for the attending the program, is created. The final selection is made according to the order of their rank.

The admission criteria with their respective evaluation points (weight), are depicted on the table below:

The number of evaluation points in the above table describes the maximum points that can be assigned by the admission committee for a given candidate. For the first two evaluation criteria, the score is calculated as the product of the percentage of mark of the degree in relation to the maximum possible mark of that degree and the evaluation points (weight) of each criterion.

The admission committee shall create the list of suitable candidates for the program. The final selection is based on the rank of each candidate in that list, which subsequently is ratified by the G.A.S.C. and is published through the Secretary office of the program on the project website.

The admitted students are informed electronically by the secretary office of the project and are invited to enroll for the program within 15 days, accepting its terms and conditions and paying the first installment of the tuition fee. Non-attendance or non-payment of the first installment of tuition fees by a successful candidate within the above deadline is equivalent to a refusal to accept the program offer, hence the secretary office is authorized to immediately inform the higher-ranked unsuccessful candidate of the evaluation list.

Candidates’ objections to the evaluation process are submitted to the secretary office of the program within five (5) working days of the announcement of the results. The objections are being reviewed by the C.C and their suggestions are forwarded to G.S.S.C. Ultimately, the G.S.S.C decides whether to accept the suggestions of C.C regarding the objection that was made, or not.
