Minimum GPA

ELLIS does not set centralized numeric eligibility criteria (GPA, GRE, language tests). Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the degree-granting host institution. Final-year students may apply; some hosts accept applicants with a BSc under specific conditions. Selection is centrally reviewed for excellence and the best candidates may be invited for interviews.

ELLIS does not charge tuition and does not set tuition fees; tuition and fees depend entirely on the host institution. The program itself does not award degrees or provide substantive funding (except smaller travel grants). PhD funding is provided through advisors' resources and formalized in a Letter of Intent between student and advisors.
