For international students
After the application deadline has expired, ISGS and the CVT examination board start the evaluation of the applications. The examination board checks if the technical requirements are met or if the applicant should improve his/ her knowledge of a special field prior to the start of the studies. (There might be recommendations on some books you should read or courses you should attend before the start of the studies).
Within some weeks after the application deadline has expired, the applicant gets notice of acceptance or refusal.
If he/she accepts the admission, personal communication on social and administrative aspects with ISGS starts.
For international students, theofficial start of the program will be 1. August. Students will begin with the ISGS-Orientation Course, which includes welcome services, German language classes, administrative and social support, cultural activities and meetings with scientific staff. During this period, you will also meet with your mentor and discuss with him/her a personal study plan. The course ends in mid-October and leaves students well prepared for the start of the semester at the end of October.
