Additional comments on completing applications:
• documents must be arranged in the order specified in the instructions;
• in the case of documents with translations, the translation should be placed first, followed by the translated document;
• diplomas should be arranged from the most recent to the oldest, i.e. first the doctoral degree, then the master's degree, and then the bachelor's/engineering degree;
• it is necessary to attach transcripts of grades from the course of study (supplements to diplomas) - this also applies to doctoral studies. If there were no grades, an appropriate statement should be attached to avoid additional explanations or the application being classified as incomplete;
• Documents should not be stapled or bound (only certified translations may be stapled/bound; the rest of the documents should be separated as necessary).
• Do not put documents in plastic sleeves, folders or binders.
• Letters of recommendation should be placed in sealed envelopes – one copy of each of the two required letters is sufficient.
• Sign the application form and research plan.
• Do not use the Europass CV template.
