Assessment of Applications

All applicants are assessed according to the following criteria:

1. 40% Quality of the university career (including duration, number and quality of the degrees obtained, academic credentials and academic performance)

2. 25% Quality of motivation letter

3. 25% Affinity to law and economics (evaluated by subjects of previous studies and/or the letter of motivation)

4. 10% Letters of recommendation

All applicants are ranked based on these assessment criteria. Available places in the programme are offered and scholarships are awarded based on the final ranking of the applicants. Due to the large number of applications, the EMLE staff cannot provide individual feedback on the specific reasons for a declined application and/or negative scholarship decision. Declined applicants are welcome to re-apply for the following academic year.

If you believe that a grave error has been made in the assessment of your application, you can submit a letter of appeal to the reviewing committee. For example, if you have reasons to believe that documents in your application form were overlooked. Your argumentation in this letter of appeal should be based on the above mentioned assessment criteria. Please note that no information other than what is mentioned in your application form will be considered in the appeal procedure (e.g., further education, experiences, certificates or documents). You can send your letter of appeal to application@emle.org.
