It is up to you to choose the content that best complements your Statement of Purpose.

During the selection procedure the Selection Committee will assess your:

• Academic record: cumulative grade-point average / grade trends.     
• Academic and non-academic experience: educational background, life experiences, leadership roles, community service and/or civic engagement.      
• Individual attributes: intellectual curiosity, leadership skills, language skills.     
• Overall compatibility level and potential for success within the learning environment of the EUI School of Transnational Governance

The Selection Committee bases its work on the documentation submitted by the candidate and assesses merit for admission and access to any of the STG support opportunities within the context of the candidate’s academic and personal circumstances.

The selection process takes place in three stages:

Stage I: Pre-screening. During the first stage, the STG Admissions Officer pre-screens applications for completeness. The STG Admissions Officer receives, processes, files and prepares all documentation in the necessary format. Upon completion of the pre-screening process, the STG Admissions Officer draws up the preliminary shortlist and submits it to the Selection Committee with the respective application files.

Stage II: Screening and selection. The second stage falls under the responsibility of the Selection Committee and consists of the comparative review of the application files.

Stage III: Post-selection procedures. After completing the comparative review, the Selection Committee produces the final ranking lists, which are the ranking list of selected candidates and the reserve-ranking list of selected candidates. The Selection Committee submits these final lists to the Admissions Officer, who notifies each candidate in writing of the decision of the Selection Committee. Depending on the outcome of the selection procedure, candidates may receive:

• a place offer as a beneficiaries of one of the STG support opportunities;
• a provisional place offer which shall be confirmed on completion of the financial requirements;
• a conditional place offer (final or provisional) which shall be confirmed  on completion of the academic / degree requirements;
• a rejection letter.
