Applications:

Apply via the online form and upload the following documents:

  • a cover letter describing motivation for applying to IMPRS-CPQM and a statement discussing the projects most interested in (priorities regarding the selected projects, and discuss them in the cover letter),
  • a CV with complete description of your academic career,
  • a transcript of courses taken and grades obtained,
  • If candidate would like to submit further documents in support of applications, may do so via online form as well.
  • Make sure to have these documents ready as separate pdf files when starting the online application procedure
