Hey guys,

How many of you accepted ones have completed your Master's degree? I was wondering does the Bachelors actually have any chance to get accepted

Hi Laura,

I've been accepted for the March 2010 stage and I haven't done a Masters - I finished my Law degree in June. I think languages and an enthusiasm for your chosen DGs helps in your application though. Good luck! Jess

Hi there Laura,
I was accepted for a traineeship starting March 2010. I do hold a master, but I cannot tell for sure this is why I was selected. I tend to think that holding a master or not could make a difference in what regards the pre-selection phase, for the second selection phse it could be that the profile as a whole is important: motivation, languages… just my opinion

In the preselection phase you get additional points for Master's or a PhD, so it might be difficult to get through preselection - you need other good results, language knowledge, experience etc.
