FIRST DEGREE NOT COMPLETED YET: I have not yet completed my first degree, can apply to EuMI?

Yes; if you expect to graduate before July 31 2009. If selected, you must submit your degree to EuMI before July 31 2009.


ALREADY IN THE EU: I am a third-country national already in the EU. Can I apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship?

If you will not reach a total of 12 months of residence in the EU (and related countries) over the last 5 years on February 21, 2009, you are eligible for scholarship.


ALREADY ENROLLED IN TRENTO-AACHEN-EDINBURGH CS COURSE: I am already enrolled in a Master Course in Computer Science at the University of Trento or RWTH Aachen or University of Edinburgh.

Can I apply for EuMI admission? Yes..
Can I apply for EuMI scholarship? No.
Erasmus Mundus scholarships in EuMI are reserved only to third-country students that are not already enrolled in any Computer Science Master course in the participating Universities of the EuMI consortium, since they cover a full two year period (120 ECTS) starting from enrollment to the first year of the Master course.


ENROLLED IN ANOTHER ERASMUS MUNDUS COURSE: I am already enrolled in another Erasmus Mundus Master Programme and I have been awarded an Erasmus Mundus scholarship. Can I apply for EuMI scholarship?

No.
It would be considered a breach of the previous contract: you would break the commitment made with the other Consortium and the European Union, therefore you will not be eligible.


ENROLLED IN ANOTHER MASTER COURSE 1: I am already enrolled in another Master Programme (also another Erasmus Mundus Master, but without scholarship). Can I apply for EuMI scholarship?

Yes, if you have not been in the EU for more than 12 months over the last 5 years on February 28, 2009.


ENROLLED IN ANOTHER MASTER COURSE 2: Can third-country students who have already been accepted by a masters course in Europe apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship and continue to study in their current master course ?

No.
Erasmus Mundus scholarships are only for students who have been admitted to – and will participate in – Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses selected under the Erasmus Mundus programme. In other words, Erasmus Mundus scholarships are exclusively reserved for Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses.


ERASMUS MUNDUS MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS: Can I apply to different Erasmus Mundus scholarships?

Yes, but no more than 3 EM applications.
