Specific requirements

The following criteria are taken into account in the selection process:

• The applicant’s academic quality and success, and the relevance of the applicant’s
  overall study record in the completed bachelor’s and other studies, judged from the degree
  certificate and transcript of records provided.
• Motivation letter that specifically highlights one’s interest to study in this programme.
• Relevant work experience (minimum equivalent of two years full-time as a registered nurse) and other merits and qualifications documented in the CV and supported by certificates.
