You will have to pass a selection where we want to get to know you and see your abilities to communicate in English.
There are two stages:
1. Essay Application:
Fill out the application on iswint.ro/portal and ensure all necessary information is provided. Submit the completed application.
You will receive a notification in the middle of February regarding whether you have passed this stage or not.
2. Online Interview:
If you pass the essay application stage, you will proceed to an online interview.
The interview involves a quick chat between you and two ISWinT organizers, and is designed to help both parties get to know each other better.
You will be informed in the beginning of March whether you have been selected to participate in ISWinT.
You may change it until you pass the first round of selection (when you receive the acceptance mail and start scheduling your interview). From that point, we will begin to process your information in order to prepare your arrival and attendance, therefore any further modifications regarding those will not be taken into consideration. Please make sure you double check all fields before you submit your information.
