What is the difference between an exchange student and a degree-seeking student?

Michela Cobelli — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:41:08 +0000

An exchange student/staff is registered/employed at a university (home university) and temporarily studies/researches at a partner university (host university). The exchange period for students lasts from 1 semester to max. 10 months.

The exchange period for staff members is 1 month.

Exchange scholars do not obtain a diploma from the host institution.

Degree- seeking students will obtain a diploma from the host university in the EU. Students applying as degree students need to comply with the Host University entry requirements. The admission criteria are detailed under each course description at the point of application, and in the Partner Information Sheet.

I am an international student and would like to apply for this scholarship Program to pursue my master degree in one of the host Institutions. Would I need to first apply to the University or just apply straight for the scholarship?

Michela Cobelli — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:40:34 +0000

Those are two different things.

Applying for DUNIA BEAM scholarships doesn’t mean to apply also for a course offered by the host institution. DUNIA BEAM is a scholarship Programme: applying to it you require a scholarship.

If you win the scholarship, you have to be admitted to the course degree you wrote in the application form by doing what the host institution requires. If you fail and are not admitted, you’ll not receive the scholarship. Then, check the admission requirements of the Programme you wish to attend by visiting partner’s websites.

I have had before a mobility grant in the EU, can I apply again?

Michela Cobelli — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:40:02 +0000

No you can’t.

My University doesn’t have an agreement of cooperation with the host University. Can I apply?

Yes, if you are respecting eligibility criteria.

All DUNIA BEAM partners signed a memorandum of understanding governing the project.

How can potential candidates find out about specific admission conditions and apply for an individual mobility flow?

Please see the How to apply section.

How is “staff” defined?

Michela Cobelli — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:37:50 +0000

Academic staff comprises teaching staff or researchers from the universities participating in the Partnership, but also university administrators (rectors, personnel in charge of cooperation offices, admissions and recognition departments, etc). All these categories are eligible candidates for outgoing mobility. They will have to be invited by the host institution member of the Partnership in order to perform training, teaching and/or research activities.

Please see Level of mobility page.
