The following things might be advantageous at the evaluation of the applications: TDK (student research) work, outstanding academic achievement/GPA, additional language skills, overseas study trip, congress presentations, posters presentations or scientific publications (even as co-author). Applicants will be invited for an interview. There is a waiting list.
