  1. I do not know if this applies to every Erasmus+ Programme, but quite a few have been postponed till next year. The mobility part was going to be quite the concern for most students given the virus.
  2. The EU is not yet recommending accepting non-EU citizens because of the pandemic. In my country the embassy was supposed to open tomorrow for applications but they have pushed it back to 1st of July. I suspect that when that date comes, they will push it back again. ? "In light of the measures imposed by the EU to close all Schengen Borders for Non-EU-Citizens until July 1st 2020 to curb the spread of Covid-19/Corona Virus), the German Embassy has suspended the issuance of Schengen and Long-Term visas. Exceptions can only be made for applicants who can demonstrate that there are compelling reasons that justify one of the exceptions to the entry restrictions."
  3. I was accepted into the NOHA programme. They specifically asked why I wanted to join the programme so my motivation focused on (1) my background (a very short against all odds story as the introduction) and how that influenced my career path. More of the text centred on (2) my career path i.e. What I have done so far, what I would like to do in the future and how the programme would help me achieve that. Lastly, I wrote a bit about (3) My country/region and how badly in need it is of people with the specific skills the programme promises to teach. I think my motivation was quite personal. I told a story and painted a picture about my life , where I am going and why the programme is a perfect fit so that whoever read it would see strong intent. At Masters level they didn't ask for a specific project but I did have one or two lines in my motivation explaining my research interests. I didn't go into detail. About academics, I did mention that I graduated top in my class but nothing else. I contacted my past lecturers before submission and asked them to focus the letters on my academic achievements. Each programme has different requirements but I think lecturers like seeing purpose. Make sure your purpose is clear.
  4. Some programmes start in September. Of course, semester dates may change. We just don't know, we are speculating.
  5. Yes, for DAAD specifically. Other programmes will start in September. I think they will make a joint decision about international students and that decision will have to be made before September and might affect everyone.
  6. August and September? Seems like it may be online learning for international students next semester. They probably don't anticipate reopening the borders for students.
  7. I wasn't given a score, just an acceptance email. What did your email say? Good Luck! I think with the current situation, some people will decline the offer or very sadly so will be unable to attend.
  8. NOHA+ responded on 31st of March and I have been accepted!
  9. I got accepted, with scholarship! What wonderful news given the current state of the world.
  10. I think you can also talk to other current students now that you are admitted. Congratulations by the way.
  11. Short answer: The Development Economics programme. The courses are exactly what I need and I have searched high and low and haven't found a perfect substitute. I did apply elsewhere of course but I feel like I should maybe think of doing something else. The faculty too. Professors Arcand, Panizza, Carbonnier, and Baldwin whose books and papers I have studied.
  12. Actually first on my list. Unfortunately, I have been rejected.
