We would like to get to know you.
Following the example of world-renowned universities, we prioritise the motivational letter or video submitted by applicants as part of the admissions process. In this, candidates should focus on their achievements, qualifications, and motivation for studying. These points will then be verified during a personal motivational interview. The interview also allows us to get to know the applicant better and to introduce our unique educational concept and the expectations we have for our students. This approach provides an opportunity to establish a relationship with the applicant from the outset and clarify mutual expectations.

Entrance examination.
A condition for being admitted to studies in any of Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes at European Research University is to successfully pass the entrance examination which is composed of the following graded parts:
- Motivational interview – for that purpose, a candidate submits a motivation video (or a letter) proving his or her previous successes
- Writing sample in form of an essay on topical societal or economic issues
The applicant will meet the conditions for admission if they obtain a total of at least 60 points out of a maximum of 100. The applicant will receive details and schedule of the admission procedure from the Study Dpt.
A condition for admission to study in the doctoral study programme is also the successful completion of the entrance exam, which is carried out in the form of an oral interview and is aimed at assessing the prerequisites for the performance of the applicant’s scientific and research work and at verifying his knowledge in the field of economic policy and public administration. For the entrance exam, the candidate will submit the framework theses of the doctoral dissertation. A critical discussion of the framework theses is also an integral part of the entrance exam. The framework theses of the doctoral dissertation serve mainly to assess the applicant’s prerequisites for the preparation of the dissertation thesis and his publication activity. The recommended structure and scope of theses are specified in more detail in the relevant decree on the conditions of the admission procedure to study in doctoral study programmes. The applicant will receive details and schedule of the admission procedure from the Study Dpt.
