Another important note for applicants from non-EU countries: If you have not been selected through the DAAD, we strongly recommend that you submit your application promptly after April 1. This will enable you to apply for a visa and plan your travel in time in case of admission to the aptitude testing procedure.

The application to the MIB takes place exclusively via the corresponding the KU portal. One click and you're off...

We recommend that you include a current e-mail address on your application documents. This allows for quick communication in case of queries and in case you are invited to the selection interview.

After the selection committee has checked the suitability of the applicants, particularly suitable candidates are invited to a selection interview via Zoom. In this interview, you will be tested on your knowledge of the relevant contents of the program, in particular international organizations (European Union, United Nations), political systems (systems of state and government) as well as contemporary history (Cold War). The duration of the interview is 20-25 minutes and the date of the interview will be announced at least one week in advance. Applicants will be informed about the result by the KU Student Office.
