The mandatory criteria are degree in Psychology, commitment to full-time work and level B2 in English. Additional merits are
a) knowledge and experience related to work, organisational and HR psychology
b) motivation
c) knowledge of psychology and methodology
d) knowledge of the national languages of the Consortium countries.
In summary, the prototypical profile of a "good candidate" would be a person with a good basic knowledge in the discipline, fluent in English, and committed to a training of excellence that is part of the philosophy of this Master.
A shared selection protocol has been developed, which the Master's Coordination Committee analyses every year to improve it. All members of the Consortium consistently use this protocol to evaluate candidates (fairness), which is directly related to the criteria that define a good candidate and whose information is accessible (transparency). Although the coordinating institution centralises the control of the process and some tasks (e.g. the reception of applications), all European institutions of the Consortium are involved in the evaluation of the applicants. The final selection decision is the responsibility of the Master's Coordination Committee (where all institutions are represented) and a unanimous decision is sought. A transparent and objective process of selection and admission of candidates is followed with five general phases:
a) "pre-selection": a check is made on the fulfilment of the obligatory requirements to access the Master
b) "decision of the final list of candidates": students who are not on this list are informed about the reason for exclusion
c) "selection of participants", using the protocol, in a meeting of the Coordination Committee of the Master
d) "communication": candidates are explained whether they are accepted or not in the Master
e) "confirmation" by the accepted participants.
This procedure allows for a transparent, effective, and objective application and selection process. There is no gender discrimination or discrimination against people with disabilities or special needs.
