Selection criteria
Based on an overall assessment of the applicants academic qualifications, letter of intent and previous work experience. If the applicants qualifications are equal, the selection will be made by the drawing of lots. All qualifications referred to in the application must be verified by valid documentation. As the programme is multidisciplinary, it is necessary to achieve an equal presence of the different main fields of study. In the selection, the number of admitted students will be as evenly distributed as possible. An equal number of places will therefore be offered to each main field, and if a main field is unable to fill its places, they will be allocated among the other main fields in relation to the number of eligible applicants from each field. The applicable main fields are: Occupational therapy, audiology, physiotherapy, speech therapy, nursing, radiography, and reproductive, perinatal and sexual health.
