The highest ranked applicants are then invited for an online interview (week 3 or week 4 of March), that includes a scientific presentation (5 minutes) prepared by the student, followed by a questioning session. This interview score is then combined with the scores of the application documents (points 1-4), resulting in a final ranking of the candidates. Only the highest ranked students will be admitted to the programme.

Biochemistry), Bio-(incl. environmental, chemical and food) Engineering, Human or Veterinary Medicine, Biomedical sciences or equivalent (which then requires formal equivalency by an official body in one of the 4 consortium countries, e.g. ENIC-NARIC).

Before the final selection of the applicant, the diploma and its transcripts have to be legalized according to the legalization procedure applicable. If these documents are not in Dutch, French, German or English, the applicant is required to add scans of these documents in one of these languages, translated by a sworn translator. Please have a look at the Ghent University website how legalization can be performed and start-up this process well in advance! https://www.ugent.be/prospect/en/administration/application/application-degree/legalisation.htm.
