Application Notice
AI tools such as ChatGPT or Copilot can be used for planning or checking spelling and grammar, but your answers must be your own. Applications that rely on AI‑generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
* Show us the real you: your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.

Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you not an AI tool.
