Hi everyone,

I'm going to apply for the EMLE of 2006/2007. I have some questions about admission. I already have a bachelor degree in law, but I do not have any previus knowlege in economics. Is it bad for beeing admitted? How dificult is to be admitted? Is there something I should do to improve my chances? What about the changes of getting a schollarship from Eramus Mundus?
I really appreciate any kind of help, since I'm brazilian and it is difficult for me going in person to of the univer. to get more detailed information.

Hi Livia, You dont need to prove any special knowledge of economics to enroll in the program, as far as I remember, but it is advised that you read some related books in advance (I didnt but dont take me as a good example ;-)). I dont know about the Erasmus Mundo scholarship but I think you can apply. As the program is partly financed by the EU I did receive an Erasmus scholarship so it should also work for you. Good luck!

Hi Julius,
Thanks a lot!
Did you know any Brazilian students in the program?

Would ANYONE have some tips to
raise the changes of being accepted and specialy to receive an scholarship?

Lívia

We had one Mexican lawyer but no Brazilian. Most students were from different European countries but we also had some malaysian, Chinese and Israeli students, so in general it was quite mixed. The chances of being accepted are high if you are from a more "exotoc" country like Brazil and low if your are from Germany for example as there are many applications from this country (around 80 when I did the program, I was among the lucky ones..). The reason is that the program has a quota for the differnet countries therefore the benchmarks for some countries are higher than for others. I dont know anything more specific about the Erasmus global scholarship, sorry, but, at least for the German students, the Erasmus scholarship was automatically granted along with the acceptance to the program. So maybe its the same for you. Good luck!

Julius,

Thanks a lot!!!

HI julius, i gather from the discussion that you finished your EMLE and with am erasmus mundus scholarship as well. I am very interested in the program but i am opting for an LLM in Sweden where the tuition fee is free and i only have to worry about accommodation, which i am planning to finance through scholarship (maybe SI) or part-time work in sweden (depending on the availability or possibility of jobs for foreign students in Sweden). DId i get it right that EMLE is financed through erasmus mundus scholarship and that admission to the EMLE is an automatic grant of the erasmus mundus scholarship? so that if i get accepted to the EMLE, it will likewise be fully financed as if i am on scholarship? thanks.

Yes, I did finish the EMLE program but not with the Erasmus Mundus scholarship. I can only talk about the situation for German student (although I think it was the same for all EU students) and only about how it was in 2001/2002. The only tuition we had to pay was an administrative fee of 250 EUR (I guess its more now) and all of the German students automaticaly were granted the 'normal' Erasmus/Sokrates scholarship (which is quite low, around 100 EUR a month I think). As I said I dont know how it works with the Erasmus Mundus as this a new scholarship scheme that has only been introduced recently.

thanks. i was actually checking on stockholm u where tuition is free and learned about the EMLE program where stockholm u is one of the participating universities. i just wasnt sure whether the "free tuition fee" applicable in most swedish universities also applies to the EMLE program. in any case, i guess 100euro will not be sufficient for living/accomodation expenses. : (

I think the mundus scholarship is more than 100 EUR as it is designed for people abroad. Check http://europa.eu.int/comm/education/programmes/mundus/index_en.html
for more.
Good luck!

Hello everyone!

I really liked all the "conversation" between you guys...
I'm in the same situation of Livia. I am brazilian and I intend to apply for the EMLE of 2006/2007. I hope I can be accepted... But I'll try to get a scholarship too...
The questions and answers were very helpful! :-)

Marina.

Dear Marina and Livia,

I'm currently studying in the EMLE programme and I receive an Erasmus Mundus scholarship. I can ensure you that you have good chance to get such scholarship, because there are few Brasilians and Argentinas with scholarship. Off course, it's not so easy to be admitted for programme and be granted with scholarship. But if you have good qualification and are lucky you will get it for sure.

I very enjoy this programme, the international environment and the Hamburg university, where I'm spending my second trimester and wish you good luck in your application. Deadline is very close.

Hi everyone!

Hi I'm Evelyn from Argentina and I applied for the EMLE Program 2006/2007. Any idea when the results of the selection process for students are?
Chau!

As far as third country applicants go- I was told that the Consortium's board on admissions decides a list of candiates(those who have been admitted and those admitted with scholarships) in febraury and forwards the same to the EU for confirmation. The EU confirms/rejects the same based on criteria like geographical distribution of students etc. Applicants are informed i their name figures on the list forwarded to the EU. All the best! !
