IMPRS-ML will cover travel expenses and accommodation for the trip to Munich.
To get accepted to the school candidates need to
- perform well in the panel interview and
- establish a match with a supervisor who will offer the candidate a position in their group

The selection committee will finally approve the established matches between candidates and supervisors and will accept those candidates to the IMPRS-ML. Accepted students may start their research project anytime between 01 March and 01 October (with prior consultation of the supervisor). Official start of the program is 01 October each year.
5. Verificação de diplomas internacionais
Academic degrees issued in foreign countries will have to be approved by the admissions and registration office of the university that will award the doctoral degree (either Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) or Technische Universität München (TUM). The Coordination Office will assist accepted students in these procedures.
