The Curricular Assessment (CA) aims to analyse the candidates' qualifications, namely: proven experience in 3D modelling using Maya, Sketchup, Unreal Engine, Blender or Rhino software (A); proven experience in designing and developing virtual spaces (B); skills in interactive design (C). Experience in these areas must be proven by submitting a portfolio. The curricular assessment also includes motivation to participate in the project by submitting a letter of motivation (D).

The weighting for the CA is 100 per cent. It will be expressed on a scale of 0 to 20, with the classification obtained by the arithmetic mean of the classifications of the elements to be assessed, according to the following formula:

A. Proven experience in 3D modelling using Maya, Sketchup, Unreal Engine, Blender or Rhino software: 40%;

B. Proven experience in designing and developing virtual spaces: 30%.

C. Skills in interactive design: 20%

D. Motivation letter: 10%

AC = A*0,4 + B*0,3 + C*0,2 + D*0,1

If necessary, the selection board reserves the right to call up to three candidates for an interview (E). Candidates who score less than 9.5 will be excluded from the procedure.

The Interview (E) will be graded on a scale of 0 to 20 and will last no more than 20 minutes.

The Final Classification (CF) of the candidates called for interview is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20 as a result of the following arithmetic average:

CF = 70% AC + 30% E
