• 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.

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.
