Selection procedure
The procedure of students’ selection is oriented to
quality and fulfilment of ECTS. As WOP master programme requires
a great effort, students should be willing to dedicate
an important number of hours to different types of tasks
(e.g. reading articles, preparing reports, front-teaching).
So, students’ selection involves a rigorous evaluation
of knowledge skills and motivational aspects. The process of
selection includes the presentation of the CV and an interview
with the candidate. During the process the candidate is invited
to present documents (e.g., references) which can provide further
evidence of their preparation and qualification.
So, in every
institution the internal coordinator interviews the candidates,
and carries out the exam or tests to assess previous knowledge
and skills related to the discipline. Afterwards, such coordinator
establishes a ranking considering applicant's merits and formulates a
proposal of the candidates to be accepted by the WOP Coordinating and Selection Committee.
The Selection Committee analyses
the proposals of the coordinators of every partner institution
and decides on the candidates accepted to be enrolled in
the WOP master programme.
The universities (Home for mobility 1 and Host for mobility 2) where the selected students will be enrolled, will be decided by the WOP Coordinating Committee. The decission will be based on the students' preferences; the need to obtain a balanced distribution among partner institutions; and the students' fluency in the languages used in WOP programme (English, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish)
