The requirements for applying for an Erasmus Mundus grant:
Potential candidates should register for the IELTS or TOEFL in September or October (if test centres are closed due to the pandemic situation, candidates can email their respective coordinators and ask them to exempt them from sending test scores).
There are some programmes that are accepting other language tests, such as the Duolingo English Test Proficiency. It's an alternative test to IELTS and allows students to take a test at home.
- All applicants must obtain at least 6.5 in IELTS. No GRE or GMAT required.
- There's no need to contact the professors for admission. Simply go to the official website of your relevant programme and follow the instructions provided there.
- No professional experience is necessary.
- All candidates must have completed at least 16 years of schooling.
- There is no age restriction to apply.
- There are a number of students who have obtained the scholarship despite having a low CGPA. So students with average grades can also take a chance.
- Two letters of recommendation are also required. This requirement varies with each programme. Applicants should be able to find out more about this on the website of the programme they wish to apply for.
- A residence certificate. This certificate guarantees that you have not resided in Europe for one year or more in the last five years. This certificate can be purchased from your university, workplace or local municipal office. It also needs to be certified by a public lawyer.
- Previous degrees and transcripts.
- A letter of motivation. The length of the essay varies according to each programme. However, some programmes do not specify any limits.

- Write an impactful motivational letter. It may well be the only thing that can help you, especially if you don't have a good enough CGPA.
- Your extracurricular activities and online courses you may have taken can also create a strong profile. Online courses are especially useful when you're switching fields.
