Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The real trap here is the minimum ECTS load. Many strong profiles fail because the degree looks compatible on paper, but the transcript does not document it clearly enough. The right move is to build a course-by-course table before the opening date, showing the 60 ECTS in total and the 18 ECTS minimum in physics and the 18 ECTS minimum in mathematics, then attach solid proof of English. Since only one application counts, prepare a single final version and do not submit until the references and translations are ready.
