Masters Opportunity in Europe

[fritzd]

---

Hello Guys!

I recently graduated with the degree BS Applied Physics at USC. Before I graduated, I stumbled into this as shared by one of my instructors who is already in Europe.
http://ec.europa.eu/education/progra.../index_en.html

It is a list of all the Erasmus Mundus Masters program in Europe. Erasmus Mundus Scholarship is a program run by the European Union. It's aim is to allow deserving students from Non-EU countries especially third world countries like us. If accepted you will get a 42,000euro funding for your two years of study which is way more than enough to fund your study. Each masters program is composed of participating universities in Europe. So you choose two countries depending on the specialization you chose. So in two years, you will study in two countries and possibly in 4 Universities. The list found on the link above shows program from all possible field: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Business, Information Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, Health or Medicine, and many more. You can narrow down your choices by clicking the sub-categories on the left.

Each student (kita), can apply only to three programs at a given school year. I applied to two programs only:
http://www.master-optics.eu/ and this http://www.master-photonics.org/
Since these were the programs the involve my specialization in my BS studies. Anyway, I wasn't accepted in the first program but I was luckily accepted in the second program I applied, Erasmus Mundus MSc in Photonics. Not only that, I am also entitled to the scholarship.

Anyway, what I want to share is this opportunity. The European Union is actually allocation budgets per region in the world. See the link below.

So if you are the only one applying to that program in from the Philippines and you have fairly good educational background, you have good chances of being accepted. To those who are interested, check this out. It is really good. If you won't be accepted in one school year, you can apply the next year again. Here is the link to the course again,
http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/mundus/univ/country_en.html The program title webpage are shown on the right side. I want to share this to everyone because some deserving students like us are missing this. I was lucky enough to be informed about this. Thanks for your time guys! God Bless!

HI Fritzd,

Thanks for this very informative post. I have always wanted to study in Europe and this could be my opportunity napud.

Question lang:

I was reading the FAQs about Erasmus Mundus and it said the program is only until 2008. Then, for the programs I am interested in, January 2008 man ang deadline para sa application for the scholarship. When ka ni-sugod sa imong application?

Thanks!

Hello!

I started my application around December 2007. Last sememster sa akong Undergraduate. Ang imo nakitan sa ilang mga website kay unupdated pa kay usually kung nana sila applicants for the school year dili na sila mu update sa ilang site. basta regularly visit their webpages and prepare the requirements kay mao raman gihapon na ang mga requirements... Around October to November, magsugod na sila ug pangita ug applicants nya ila napud i-update ilang webpage... hehehe! =))

Thanks, Fritz

Would you know if naa pa ni siya for school year 2009? I read somewhere in the Erasmus Mundus website that this is a five year programme lang daw so until 2008 lang.

Hopefully, naa pa siya next year.

Dear Erasmus Mundus students and scholars,

We are pleased to inform you that the Study in Europe website is now online at www.study-in-europe.org . This website has been developed under the Erasmus Mundus Global Promotion Project, as a way of improving the availability and accessibility of information on studying in Europe for international students. We hope that it will also serve to enhance the visibility of Erasmus Mundus among students, higher education institutions, authorities and employers worldwide. An article about the new site appears on the home page of the Erasmus Mundus Students and Alumni Association at EMA Erasmus Mundus Students and Alumni Association: Home .

We would appreciate any help that you can give us in spreading the word about the Study in Europe website, to friends, colleagues, fellow students, your host universities in Europe as well as your university in your home country. At the bottom of the right-hand menu on the Home Page, there is a link called "Media downloads". This contains a selection of banners that can be put on other sites to link them to Study in Europe.

For now, the site is only available in English. Versions in Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish will become available over the next few months. Further materials (brochure, flyer, poster, DVD, giveaways - in all 7 languages) will be available in the autumn.

For more information about the materials that are being developed under the Study in Europe campaign, or for general information about the Global Promotion Project, please do not reply to this e-mail address but contact Mr William Aitchison (william.aitchison@ec.europa.eu).

Best regards,
