FAQ

Unfortunately, the deadlines for Erasmus Mundus scholarship applications cannot be extended.

On average, the COASTHazar Erasmus Mundus programme provides between 20 full scholarships and up to 5 reduced tuition fee scholarships every year.

You have the option to upload your application documents conditionally, and the English proficiency test can be submitted at a later stage, provided that it meets the deadline requirements. Please refer to the Application section on the website for more details.

Yes, you are still required to take the English proficiency test if your country is not included in the exemption list. The only exception is if you completed your BSc degree in a native English-speaking country. In such cases, you should upload a statement from the university where you obtained your bachelor's degree in place of the English test results in your online application.

If you haven't yet obtained your first higher education degree at the time of application, you can still apply. However, you must be enrolled in the final year of your studies at the time of application, with at least 120 EC of the program successfully completed by then. Your degree must be obtained before August 15, and the necessary documents confirming this must be included in your application before the programme starts. Your transcript of records should detail all completed and currently enrolled courses, along with a statement indicating the expected date of diploma attainment. A valid (definitive or temporary) bachelor's diploma must be provided no later than August 15. Failure to provide the official diploma after this date, if selected for a scholarship, will result in the withdrawal of the scholarship offer.

Your application cannot be considered valid and will not be accepted without a complete transcript of records, which must include all grades obtained, including the average final grade.

All official application documents, such as BSc diplomas, transcripts of records, certificates, etc., must be submitted in English. Translations should be completed by a sworn translator. (This requirement does not apply to passports.) If you are unable to arrange for the translation of your documents before the application deadline, you may submit unofficial English translations temporarily. However, if you are selected for a scholarship, you will be required to upload all official documents translated by a certified (sworn) translator.

Motivation and recommendation letters can be addressed to the Programme Coordinator of the programme or simply "To whom it may concern".

Applicants for Full Erasmus Mundus and reduced tuition fee Erasmus Mundus scholarships can expect notification of their application outcome in April 2025. Self-paying applicants will receive notification of their application outcome within approximately four weeks after the application deadline.

Self-funded students, as well as those funded by external entities such as employers, government agencies, or other scholarship providers, are required to pay a full tuition fee of €18,000 (excluding VAT) for the entire program duration. Additional expenses for visas, travel, living, and accommodation during the 24-month period are not covered by the full tuition fee. Students must provide confirmation of available funding for these additional costs, supported by bank statements.

All payments should be made to IHE Delft. The payment deadline is April 30 of the programme’s starting year. However, due to potentially lengthy visa procedures, it is strongly recommended to submit your financial confirmation well in advance of this date. For applicants from countries where a visa is not required, the payment deadline is July 31, 2025.
