Other things that are important to note as an intending applicant

• The Erasmus Mundus program doesn’t have an age limit. For instance, an 87-year-old has benefited from this program.
• Moving with your family is possible. It depends on your country’s choice of study. But it’s important to note that the scholarship funding system is designed for your benefit only, and not that of your family members.
• On whether students can work and study, this also depends on your country of choice. If the country you’d be studying in permits working and studying, you would have no problem as the program is not restrictive in that regard.
• It is however relevant to note that some courses under the program are academically intensive, one that rarely gives room for one to work part-time.
• The scholarship is a fully funded one, meaning it will cover all your expenses, plus monthly stipends. There’s really no need to add your workload.
