SELECTION PROCEDURE

The selection procedure is carried out according to the subject, language and personal requirements of the students on the basis of the application documents. The selection of scholarship holders and the order of students (including reserve or replacement candidates) are made according to the award and selection criteria of the PROMOS Selection Commission of the HTW Dresden.
Each faculty determines an order for the applicants of its own faculty. For better comparability of students from different faculties, a point system is used.
The selection committee determines a cross-faculty order.

The decision is based on a number of factors:

•     Academic achievements
•     knowledge of languages
•     study project
•     motivation
•     Extra-curricular activities (committee activities, StuRa, faculty council, faranto e.V., IAESTE - local committee, AIESEC - local committee, involvement in the supervision of international exchange  students of the HTW Dresden)

Priorities/sub-priorities are defined in the light of the project abroad, regions/countries/universities, degree programmes, study progress and multiple funding.

•     Partner universities have priority
•     Stays in CEE countries have priority over other countries
•     Engineering courses of studies before economic science courses of studies
•     Students of international degree programmes (IB, IMES) before other degree programmes, as they have to complete compulsory semesters abroad.
•     Students who have already been supported in another program by the HTW Dresden will be treated as subordinated students.

For candidates who want to move up, it may also be possible for the scholarship award to be confirmed at a later date with a new notification. Stays in the country of origin cannot be funded.
