Creative presentation

The creative presentation (1–2 pages) must be based on the topic 'What does your dream company look like?' Based on these two pages you are required to present your thoughts about your dream company during the admission interview. 

Admission interview

The admission interview consists of three parts: 

You present your presentation on the topic 'What does your dream company look like?' in groups of 4–5 students. Each student has 10 minutes for the presentation followed by a 30 minute group discussion of the topic. The final step is an individual interview about the application lasting 10 minutes per applicant.
