I have been working 10+ years for Ministry of Labour since my graduation.

    \n
  1. Price is affordable, even without scholarship (Tuition fee \u20ac7000).<\/li>\n
  2. Scholarship is available upto 50% of tuition fee. The least developed country is given priority. (This is suck)<\/li>\n
  3. Free accommodation (4950\u20ac) also available as a part of scholarship.<\/li>\n
  4. Face to face phase is short so you don’t have to quit or leave job that long.<\/li>\n
  5. You don’t need a fresh English proficiency test score nor minimum score required. My iBT TOEFL score was issued almost 10 years ago and still acceptable, they just want to proof that you understand English.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The deadline for application, for the first round is 1 July and second round is 1 September.
