The number of applications and the number of spots available may change every year. Hence, there is no striaghtforward answer to this question. However, as a general rule, we want as many students as possible to be able to participate in one of our ISPs and are doing our best to allocate the available spots accordingly.

Your grades and your academic progress are part of the selection criteria. Other factors, such as your motivation, your interest in the ISP region, your English skills, your teamwork skills and intercultural competence and the quality of your application documents will also be considered. Another important aspect is your performance during the group interview (if applicable).

Students of all majors will be treated equally.

Your letter of motivation (and your CV) should be written in English and should not exceed one DIN-A4 page. For each of your two preferences, you have to write a separate letter of motivation. Address your letter of motivation to the academic team of the respective ISP or use a general form of address, such as “Dear ladies and gentlemen” or “Dear Sir/Madam.”

Please make sure your application documents do not include any spelling or grammar mistakes.

For details on how to write your letter of motivation or design your CV, workshops organized by the International Office and information provided by the ZBP Career Center could be useful as well.
