These documents should contain your academic background and relevant test-scores, such as GMAT and/or TOEFL/IELTS, a letter of motivation and letters of reference.
The first round of selection will be based on the documents sent to us. Thereafter, potential eligible students will be selected for an interview (live at Erasmus MC in case of Dutch students, or via Skype for foreign students).
