APPLICATIONS

ADMISSION CRITERIA

Non-European and European students are welcome to apply to the Master WAVES. Requirements are:

  • A Bachelor (First cycle, 180 ECTS) in Acoustics or related disciplines (mathematics, physics, mechanical, electrical or civil engineering, computer science),

  • English proficiency, as all courses are taught in English. This is assumed for students who are native English speakers, or who have had experience (academic, professional) of more than 6 months in countries where English is the official language.
    Otherwise, a certification of CEFRL B2 level is required. It should be obtained by taking a standardized test of English language proficiency such as Cambridge English First, EF SET or TOEFL PBT/IBT. You may find a table of score equivalence at, e.g., https://www.efset.org/english-score/.

The applications are examined by the selection board of the consortium. The selection criteria, which aims at recruiting top level candidates, will be based on:

Academic background (results obtained in previous academic education, university of origin)

Curriculum Vitae including English level

Recommendations

Cover letter


Files will be ranked by the selection board and all students that finalized their application will be notified of the decision: main list, reserve list, or rejection.
