I have applied, but my application has been provisionally excluded. Why is that?

There may be various reasons for this. Often, it is because the motivation letter does not meet the requirements. In your one-page motivation letter you should primarily explain your choice of project. If you do not do so, your application will be provisionally excluded. However, you can upload a new motivation letter until the end of the application deadline.

Please note that CVs or bachelor’s theses do not count as motivation letters.

It may also be that application documents are missing or incomplete. If this is the case, the application portal will show you the affected documents.
