Must I complete English proficiency tests at the time of application, or can I take the test after my application has been reviewed or I have been admitted to the program?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

I am not a native English speaker from one of the countries listed under the exemption list for language certificates, but I have undergone several years of education in English. Do I still need to take and submit TOEFL or IELTS English proficiency test results?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

I have not yet completed my BSc degree. Can I apply?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

I have completed my studies but don't have a transcript of records (yet). What should I do?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Can I submit my documents in a language other than English?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

To who should motivation and recommendation letters be addressed to?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 9

When should I anticipate hearing back about the status of my application?

Question 10

What are the expenses associated with the program for students who are not receiving an Erasmus scholarship?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

When is the payment deadline if I choose to finance the program through alternative means?

Accepted Answer

Question 12

Am I allowed to apply for more than one Erasmus Mundus programme and scholarship?
