[Alberto]

Hi everyone! Software Engineering student from Spain here!

I found this internship program 2 months ago (heard from a friend who is applying as well) and since then I couldn't stop thinking about it! In the middle of my research (very few stuff on the internet about it ) I stumbled upon this forum and I must say that this is the best place to get information from! It seems like a small yet warm comunity and I want to thank everyone for the effort in teaching new people how to apply and helping them through the proccess. I hope I can get some lessons too!

See you around! Gonna be visiting this place a lot in the next months!

[Nicolak95]

Hi everyone! Electronic engineer from Ireland. Best of luck to everyone applying! Hopefully we can all help each other out in the coming months XD

Just a tip! Make sure you start organising the documentation early. To get my college transcripts there is a 5 week wait, but I don't know if that is different in each university. So you don't want to be leaving that until the last minute in case it is the same for you.

[emmepanta]

Hello everybody

I am an applicant from Italy.

Anybody knows if it's possible to send the documentation prior to January and if anybody from the past applicants believe it might be a good idea for enhancing the chances or if they're gonna evaluate all the application documents after the deadline on 20th of January anyway?

Best luck to all,

Matteo.

Hi!
I was wondering the same, I had my file ready for when it opened.
In past years I think you could send it any time but it's only this year they specifically state that it's January.
Personally I feel it's best to wait until later because I think they probably won't look at them until they all come in in January anyway, and sending it sooner could lead to it being forgotten or misplaced.

That's a good point, you are right.

It says in the papers to send the applications between 5-20 Jan and they almost certainly dont look at applications before the deadline, since there´s whole committee that needs to gather in order to evaluate the applications.

And Hi, I am Frederik, student of Mechanical Engineering/production technologies from Slovakia. I applied last year but it didn´t work out so I am trying out again

Hi everyone! My name is Luís, I come from Portugal and I'm a chemical engineering student. I have already completed my Bachelor's and I'm currently on my Master's degree (Field of studies: Energy and (Bio)Refinery), 1st year. I intend to apply for the ViJ program next year, if everything goes well. For now, I'm here just for questioning, hopefully in the future, I'll be here answering the questions

[Mathilde2211]

[Ardoos]

Hi all, I'm Adrian. Same situation here
The worst thing is that I learned about the program recently and did not have much time to prepare. Just today I managed to collect all documents. I wasn't able to send it by courier so I sent it as unregistred mail via post. Now I am worried that it's going to be lost somewhere.

[Audrey]

Hey everyone ! I'm a french chemistry student. It's the 2nd time and probably last time I apply for Vulcanus. I'll cross my fingers with you.

[Mathilde2211]

What's the difference between the two options? I just sent all the documents in an enveloppe a'd didn't really think about the mailing option haha

Of course I meant letter not mail, my mistake. The point is that I wasn't able to send the letter, which doesn't require a signature upon receipt while still being tracked. Now I'm worried that it might get lost on the way and I won't even know about it

[Mathilde2211]

Oh I did the same... There are only a few chances that it might get lost... I didn't think about it and now I'm worried haha. Do you think about maybe calling them to know it they received it?

[Ardoos]

I think someone said in other topic that they will inform us when letter arrives. It's just that I have to wait now, that's why I come up with the worst scenarios

[Blacky90]

Hi guys! I sent all the documents on January 15th and I receive an e-mail on January 16th saying they received my dicuments!
But I sent them with courier! Just wait guys! The only important thing is the post mark!

[miki97]

Hi! I'm Miquel from Spain and I have applied as an electronics engineer
It is my first time applying, hope anyone's papers get lost hehe.
Good luck!

[King_Potato]

hiiii I'm Adrien from France as well ! Applied for IT/Machine learning positions. I sent all the documents yesterday as tracked secured letter, and now I guess I'll just have to wait... exciting but scary tho. Glad to join in here, I've never talked to anyone applying before. Good luck !!!!

[Mathilde2211]

Good luck everybody

[Mike95]

Hello, I am Miguel from Canary Islands, Spain. I applied for Mechanical Engineering positions and it is my first time!

As I'm finishing my degree I hope to get selected, although I know it is going to be hard.

Nice to meet you all, and good luck!

[Danidm]

Hello!
It's Dani, from Ronda, Spain. I'm studying Physics at Granada's University and I'm here in order to know everything about this program I will apply next year, cause right now I'm doing Erasmus in Romania

Good luck to evey1!

[Maelle]

Hello all! is the forum still alive?
I want to applicate for the next session in 2021, I just discover this forum! I am a little worry about my grades, i do not have really good ones. Is it still possible to be choosen?
Thank you!

[mario_meissner]

Hi Maelle!
A while ago I wrote a little post regarding my application procedure experience, and what I think might be important.
https://mariomeissner.github.io/vulcanus-application/
As for grades, it's certainly not necessary for them to be perfect, but it might be hard if they are very low, especially in the pre-selection phase. Don't let it demotivate you though! Definitely give it a shot.

[Maelle]

Thank you Mario! Your testimony is quite complete, it helps a lot!
