Application process

Our standardized application process ensures that every applicant is evaluated according to the same standards.

Let's get started

Every year from June onwards, you will find all the study places for the following year in our job search and your online application via the "Join us" button. Fill it out and send it off right away - together with your last two school reports and your CV.

If you have more than one application, please note: The first application you submit to us will be prioritized.

Online tests

Upon receipt of the application, you will receive an online pre-test, which you can take from the comfort of your own home.

If you have passed the online pre-test, we will invite you to another online test at your desired location.

Interview

Have you passed both tests? Then we look forward to getting to know you personally in an interview.

You did it!
