Selecting students for study tracks– You have two possibilities to express your preference:
• When submitting application (in the motivation letter)• During Winter school
– January 2017– see http://www.ut.ee/EACH/each-winter-school/
– Students are selected taking into account• Their preference• Grades obtained during the first semester at Tartu• Motivation letter (submitted during admission)• Knowledge of local language (to a very limited degree)• Possibly interview or presentation during Winter school
– Final decisions are made during Winter school in Jan 2017

Aspects to take into account inselecting study track
– Research fields in II year universities– Competition for the II year universities– Cost of living in the respective country– Your language skills and what language you
study at Tartu• French vs Swedish
– Other links you mayhave with France,Finland or Sweden
