The evaluation of the candidate students, who have submitted the required documents on time, is conducted in three phases:

Preliminary Phase:

The Curriculum Committee checks all the required documents and reserves the right to request clarifications regarding the submitted documents and/or to ask for certification of knowledge considered essential for participation in the Master's program.

After checking the completeness of the candidates' files, they will be invited to an interview, about which they will be informed by the Secretariat of the Master's program.

Second Phase:

Subsequently, the Curriculum Committee of the MSc forms the ranking of the candidates by drafting a relevant list. The list of successful candidates is announced at the secretariat of the Department of Informatics with a related posting protocol. The candidate graduate students can submit their objections within 5 business days.

Third Phase:

After examining the objections, the Curriculum Committee drafts the final evaluation list. The successful candidates are asked to respond in writing within five (5) business days, whether they accept their admission to the Postgraduate Studies program or not. Failure to respond by a selected candidate within the aforementioned deadline is considered a refusal to accept. If there are refusals, the Secretariat informs the next in line from the success list.
