Study Guide

For the I.I.P.P.S.

Selection of candidates for the I.I.P.P.S. is made upon the results of the written examination, the interview of the candidate with the Coordination Committee of the Program, the degree, the knowledge of English or French or German, previous experience, publications or scientific works. The interview is conducted on issues of wider scientific interest and aims at: a) to determine the general training of the candidate, b) to form (depending on previous studies) an image of the special educational needs and particularities of the candidate, in case he is accepted.
