What is the second scholarship declaration?

gennaio 24, 2013 in DOCUMENTS TO BE UPLOADED, FAQ

The second scholarship declaration attests that you have not been provided by an Erasmus Mundus Action 2 scholarship in the past.

According to the Erasmus Mundus Action 2 programme guide:

Neither European nor third-country students can benefit from a second scholarship for the same type of mobility under another project under the EMA2-STRAND1.

This rule does not apply to Staff candidates. Furthermore, staff candidates cannot benefit from more than one mobility activity within the same project.

You can find the template here:  Second_scholarship_declaration.

Do I have to attach to the online application all the documents required by the online application tool or could I live any gap?

I have not received my Language Certificate test results yet and I will not be able to upload it before the deadline of this call. What should I do?

ottobre 23, 2012 in DOCUMENTS TO BE UPLOADED, FAQ

If you do not have all required documents right now, please contact your respective host university.

If the host university exceptionally agrees that some documents can be sent after the deadline, this email conversation should be copied & pasted and uploaded as an explanation, together with any supporting documentation of language proficiency or certificates of local tests that you may have already taken.

However, you have to submit your results well before the selection meeting in April 2013 so that they can be taken into consideration.

I will complete my study programme in a few months from now, so I won’t be able to upload my certificate until the deadline of this call. What should I do?

ottobre 23, 2012 in DOCUMENTS TO BE UPLOADED, FAQ

If you don’t have all required documents now (e.g. you have not yet obtained your degree yet, but you will have obtained it once the mobility starts), please complete a Statement of Commitment (see Documents to be uploaded page) confirming the expected date of graduation which must be before the foreseen starting date of the mobility.

Is the letter of reference the same as the traditional letter of recommendation from a university professor? Is there anything in particular it has to include? Does it have to include my skills and attributes? Is it fine if the letter is written from a dean of a faculty, the rector of a university or a lecturer? Can the letter be written from a person other than a university professor, for example an employer (from my work place)?

ottobre 23, 2012 in DOCUMENTS TO BE UPLOADED, FAQ

Yes, it is a common letter of reference that doesn’t have to include anything in particular. It should refer to your skills, above all academic ones. There’s not a standard format for this letter. It must be written by a university professor: it is fine if the letter is written by a dean or a rector or a lecturer (they are regarded as professors as well). Letters written by persons other than university professors will not be considered. The letter must be hand signed and dated (after november 2012).
