Application Procedure
Although there are application deadlines, the students are accepted on on-going basis. In order to allow time to review carefully all student application materials by the ESI staff, the e-mail notifying of the application status to the European Spring Institute 2006 will be send to the applicants approximately within seven days after the application is received.
Applications received by the early bird application deadline of February 1, 2006 will receive preference in admission and scholarship decisions. Note, that the final application deadline is February 15, 2006. Late applications might be considered. However, late applicants run the risk of finding the program full.
All students will be informed about the admissions decision by February 15, 2006.
Participants will be selected according to the following three criteria:
Educational Background (Year, Grade Point Average and Area of Study)
Statement of Purpose
Level of English (if applicable)

Approximately 30 students will be admitted to every program of the Institute. We intend to restrict the class size, which will ensure the interactive courses and discussions. There is also an aim to create a student body which will be truly international.
Students must be currently enrolled in a college or university. The Institute admits both undergraduate and graduate level students.
Priority will be given to students with at least some academic background in European Studies, International Relations, Political Science, Sociology, History or Economics. Nevertheless, students of other academic backgrounds, but with strongly demonstrated interest in EU affairs will be considered on equal basis.
Students admitted to the ESI are expected to participate fully in the program, attending all classes, lectures and social events
