Selection criteria

The final selection of students to DILL is made by the DILL Selection Committee, which consists of representatives from all three partner institutions.

The applications are evaluated by a combination of different factors. The factors and their weight are:

  • Relevance and excellence of academic background (weight: 40%)
  • The submitted statement of purpose (weight: 30%)
  • Relevant experience and professional training (weight: 20%)
  • Letters of reference (weight: 10%)

The selected students are proposed for Erasmus Mundus scholarships, subject to the decision by the European Commission’s Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency. The number of scholarships may vary from year to year. A maximum of 30 students, consisting of both scholarship holders and self financed students, may be admitted to DILL each year.
