Criteria for Selection and Ranking 

Selection and Ranking Criteria:

Each candidate will be evaluated according to one of the criteria (a) or (b), whichever is most favorable to the candidate. The final grade is given in percentage 0-100%, by which the candidates will be ranked.

1. Only with academic CV (100% weighting)
   In the evaluation of the Academic CV:
   
   • Bachelor's Degree grade (20 corresponds to 80%, the remaining grades are determined in proportion)
   • Scientific papers (Max: 10%)
   • Merit awards or other awards (Max: 10%)
2. academic CV (weighting 75%) + professional experience (weighting 25%)

• Bachelor's Degree grade (20 corresponds to 60%, the remaining grades are determined in proportion)
• Scientific papers (Max: 7,5%)
• Merit awards or other awards (Max: 7,5%)

• Experience in the field of medical physics (Max 25/25%)
• Relevant experience in physics and mathematics (Max 15/25%)
• Relevant experience in other fields related to medical physics (Max 10/25%)

Minimum admission grade: 45%

Tiebreaker criteria: motivation letter, in particular cases the course committee may request an interview.
