IMPORTANT
We expect a high standard of scientific work from our applicants. Therefore, independently of the result in stage one, all essays will be checked to see if they comply with these standards. Applicants who do not meet them, as in cases of plagiarism or the use of AI (e.g., Chat GPT, DeepL, Grammarly, etc) evidenced in the essay, will be excluded from the process.
Essays are evaluated on the applicant’s original work and the use of manual skills. We do not allow the use of AI technologies for idea creation, structuring, editing, or assignment completion.
You do not need to write a Declaration of authorship as it is already incorporated in the
TUMonline portal.
