These are the most frequently asked questions:

​

QUESTION: Can the deadline for scholarship application be extended?
ANSWER: The deadlines for Erasmus scholarship application cannot be extended. In very exceptional cases recommendation letters can also be sent in later.

ANSWER: On average between 20-25 EMJMD scholarships per year will be awarded.
 
QUESTION: How many applications do you receive every year?

QUESTION: Is it necessary to have English tests done at the moment of applying? Or can I take the test after review of my application or being admitted to the program?
ANSWER: The deadline to submit the results of a sufficient English test is 4th March 2022. You may already submit your application for admission earlier without English test results and then upload the test results later. But if you wish to be considered for Erasmus Mundus scholarship, you need to submit English test results 4th March 2022 at the latest.
 
QUESTION: I am not a native English speaker from one of the countries listed under the list of countries for which a language certificate is not required. But I have followed several years of education in English. Do I still need to present you with a TOEFL or IELTS test result?
ANSWER: Yes. If your country is not among the countries in the exemption list you are requested to do the English test. The only exception that we make is if you did your BSc study in a native English speaking country. 
 
QUESTION: I have not yet completed my bachelor degree. Can I apply? 
ANSWER: Students in their last year of BSc study can also apply. They need to show proof of their studies with a duly signed and stamped statement that declares that they are currently in their last year. They need to include the transcript of records showing all courses completed and all uncompleted courses for which they are enrolled. The statement should mention in which month they are expecting to obtain the diploma. A valid bachelor diploma (a temporary diploma is acceptable for last year students) will be required no later than August 15 of the year the program starts
 
QUESTION: I have completed my studies but don't have a transcript of records (yet)
ANSWER: your application is not valid and cannot be accepted without a full transcript of records including grades obtained and showing the average mark. Authenticated or certified copies are copies with an official stamp to verify that the copies are true copies of original documents. This official stamp may be from one of the following: a solicitor/notary, the educational institution from where the student gained the diplomas or the local council/local authority/local government office. Please include the official grading system used by the university or country, if this is not clearly explained on the flip side of the transcript.
 
QUESTION: Can I send my documents in another language than English?
ANSWER: Communication and all the official documents including BSc diplomas / transcripts of records/ certificates etc., should be in English. This does not count for passports. If you cannot arrange translation of the documents before the application deadline, you can send us an unofficial English translation for the time being. Should you be selected for a scholarship, we need to receive your BSc documents translated by a certified (sworn) translator. At that moment, you need to send us a certified copy of the original document (in the language that is not English) with an original stamp, and a certified copy of the translation. 

 
QUESTION: To whom should motivation and recommendation letters be addressed?
ANSWER: Motivation and recommendation letters can be addressed to the coordinator of the programme, or "To whom it may concern".
 
QUESTION: Can the recommendation letters be sent it anonymously?
ANSWER: If required by the referee, the recommendation letters can be sent anonymously by the referees to the email address: erasmusregistration+imete@un-ihe.org ; in that case a letter with a brief statement indicating this preference can be submitted instead of the recommendation letter in the online submission form.
 
QUESTION: When can I expect the outcome of my application?
ANSWER: We expect to inform all applicants before 31st May 2022 about the outcome of their application for admission and scholarship. In case you will not be selected for a scholarship, you may consider to pay the cost by other means.
