A personal invitation is a private link issued to you individually and should not be shared. It allows you to submit an application; it does not reserve a place. This invitation does not guarantee acceptance; all applications are assessed against the same eligibility and selection criteria.

Each invitation link expires 7 days after it is issued, or at the programme’s application deadline if that is sooner, and can be used for one application only. If applications are temporarily not being accepted, the link will not show the form during that time, but its expiry date does not change. If your link has expired, has been lost or does not work, please contact the person who invited you.
