III. SELECTION PROCEDURE
Applications will be scored according to the following categories:
- Domain of the bachelor: Points will be assigned proportional to the percentage of Computer Science credits in the curriculum.
- Academic results: This will be calculated as the weighted average of the marks in the different subjects.
- Other studies: A second bachelor or master will score depending on the obtained credits in computer science. Extra-curricular courses taken will be scored based on lecturing hours taking.
- Professional experience: Points will be given by year of work on IT or BI position (regarding the position held and the topic).
- Cover letter: Points will be assigned based on the following categories: organisation, sequencing, content, vocabulary and word choice, critical thinking, originality and creativity, accuracy of facts.
- Reference letters: Points will be assigned based on the approval, comments and reputation of the referees, as testified by the reference letters and the referees’ H-factor.
