Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is « reimbursement »: the airfare is not advanced by the program, so you need to be able to pay upfront and keep every receipt. The real administrative trap is the gap between the application deadline and the document upload window, because submitting without having the documents ready is pointless. Since the projects are predesigned, the right move is not to look for a supervisor, but to prepare a file that clearly ranks your preferences and shows fit with the field. Nominate your two referees without delay, obtain the English-medium instruction letter immediately if it applies to you, and have the full file ready before the application opens.
