Specific requirements

In the selection of candidates, priority will be given to academic merits, the Letter of Recommendation and the Statement of Purpose.

Letter of Recommendation:

A Letter of Recommendation (one only) should be written on a page with a proper letter head from the institution/company and should be stamped with the official stamp of the institution/company. Note that a Letter of Recommendation written on plain paper and without a stamp can not normally be considered. The letter should be put in a sealed envelope with a written signature by the referee across the seal.

A referee can be a past or present employer, teacher or instructor, or other persons who know you in an academic/professional capacity. The referee should be prepared to answer if we contact them by mail or telephone.

Statement of Purpose:

The questions we want your personal, truthful, and brief answers to are the following:

• What are your main interests within the field of Sport Sciences?
• What are your main reasons for applying to the programme?
• What are your future plans after completion of the programme?

Do not write less than 100 words and no more than 200 words for each one of the 3 questions. Please note that

• An application without sincere answers to all the 3 questions will not be considered.
• Long answers on separate pages will not be considered in the selection process.

The Statement of Purpose must be filled in completely and must be signed by you personally.

Your Statement of Purpose is very important in the overall assessment of your application. Therefore, make sure that you consider carefully what to include and how to present it.
