How to apply
The MEDfOR Masters Course is open to non-EU and EU students.
Admission criteria
The MEDfOR Consortium has developed a common set of admission criteria as well as joint application procedures. The MEDfOR Commission carries out the selection of students, where all partner universities are represented.
Admission requires:
- A good first university degree
- High proficiency in English
- Strong personal statement of motivation
- Good recommendations from two references, of which at least one is academic
- CV
At the time of application, you must supply proof of your BSc degree as well as the required language test.
Assessment
All applications are assessed by at least two faculty members, appointed by or part of the MEDfOR Commission. Decisions on acceptance or not into the MEDfOR programme is made by the MEDfOR Commission.
Each assessment category (i.e. academic potential including undergraduate point average (UPA) of the 180 ECTS degree or equivalent, relevant work experience, motivation, and recommendations ) is allocated a grade between 1 (poor) and 5 (outstanding). A final application grade is obtained using a weighting system whereby 65% of the final grade is allocated to academic potential, 15% to relevant work experience, and 10% to each other category.
Important notice from the European Commission
You can only submit a total of three Erasmus Mundus scholarship applications for each application round counting both Master and PhD applications. In the eventual case that a student applies for scholarships to more than three Erasmus Mundus programmes he/she will be excluded from the selection for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
