Vulcanus in Japan - Application and Selection

Application and Selection

The selection of participants is performed in two steps: First, around 120 preselected students (out of 1000+) are chosen based on the documents they provided (see below). In the second phase, the final decisions are taken by the host companies.

The first selection is performed by judging the following documents, which are required for the application:

  • application form
  • Curriculum Vitae
  • motivation letter
  • recommendation letter (written by a professor)
  • all the grades obtained at the university
  • university grading system

The most critical information contained in the above list of documents is the student's international profile, motivation and technical skills.

After the first selection is performed, the students are given a list of host companies out of which they may pick one or two - one being already chosen by the judging board. Then the applicant must write a dedicated motivation letter for each of these host companies, which will be sent directly to the human resource department of the host company. These companies perform the final selection.

Famous quotes containing the words application and/or selection:

    Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.... The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg—nine-tenths of him is under water.
    Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
