VIDEO PRE-INTERVIEW The video pre-interview integrates your written application form, providing us a better understanding of your profile. You will be asked to answer a series of questions by recording a video of yourself; the online platform will be guiding you through easy steps. The pre-interview video is a preliminary requirement which precedes the admissions interview. It should be submitted during the Application process and in any case not later than one week after submitting the online application. Before recording your pre-interview, you have the opportunity to go through a test video. When yo are ready, you can start your recording. Your pre-interview video will last approximately 5-6 minutes. Once the registration is done, it will be automatically submitted to the Admissions Committee. Please, bear in mind that this video is just one element among others which will be assessed during the admissions process: just be yourself and do not hesitate to show your points.
