ImAGEin FAQ

Full Erasmus Mundus scholarship (SHIC) is a very generous scholarship that can virtually finance any expenses (including university institutional costs and living costs) during your 2-years Master’s programme. It is composed of a monthly allowance of 1,400 euros per month paid to the student scholarship holder (SH) and of the university institutional costs (IC) paid to UCBL to cover the 2-years study programme of the scholarship holder.

All admission conditions have to be met before the start of the academic year. Should you fail to provide the necessary documents, your admission to the programme is void and you are not allowed to participate.

The Family name = surname = last name is always present on the passport. Exceptionally, the given name = first name is missing then, it is written “FNU” for “First Name Unknown” on the passport and you do the same in your application. Please fill out your identity information as written on your passport.

• Include two HEIs in two different countries (excluding your country or residence at enrolment)
• Reflect a coherent academic and research trajectory

Yes, you'll have to register and upload your documents on the eCandidat platform again. 

You'll be informed about the eligibility of your application within approx. one month after submitting a complete application.
The selection process has two phases: 

• Phase 1 "Application file evaluation": if eligible, you will be invited to an interview. 
• Phase 2 "Interview": After the interview, you will be informed whether you are admitted to the programme and whether you have been awarded an Erasmus scholarship or not. 

Two recommendation letters are required. The applicant is responsible for requesting the two letters and uploading them directly to the eCandidat application platform. 

The EMJM imAGEin is a full-time programme. While we undestand that some students may wish to combine studies with other activities, please note that part-time enrolment or employment is strongly discouraged, as it is not compatible with the intensive, full-time nature of the programme.
All students, whether scholarship holders or self-funded, are expected to fully commit to the academic and mobility requirements of the programme over the two years.
For EMJM scholarship holders, the grant is intended to fully support living and study expenses, allowing you to focus entirely on your studies.
For self-funded students, we understand the financial constraints may exist. However, keep in mind that the academic workload is intensive, and the programme requires your full-time participation.
In addition, work permit regulations vary depending on the host country and type of visa, and in some cases, student visas may not allow any form of employment.
Please take this into careful consideration before applying.

If you have two nationalities, you have to choose under whoich nationality you want to apply when you complete your eCandidat application form.
Please consider the 12-month residence rule explained above when you make such a decision.

Holding a Bachelor Degree in a STEM field is a necessary requirement to apply, but not sufficient on its own to determine your eligibility.
