Erasmus Joint Masters degree - GLOCAL

[Marzhan02]

Hey guys! 

I received an conditional admission offer from an Erasmus program, and now waiting for scholarship results. I am a third country nationals studying in Hungary, so I applied as a Partner country applicant. What are my chances of getting a scholarship?

anyone is in the same boat? 

[fumar97]

I applied for Glocal also and also got a conditional offer! Well done to you!

The wait for scholarship decisions is a very painful! There's no info on the chances or anything. I think even less of a chance for programme students like me.

hey guys!

definitely on the same boat here. considering contacting glasgow abt more information.

i wonder what percentage of the students in the program are scholarship recipients, and wish there was more clarity on that online. 

 

good luck!

i think the chances appear to be higher for programme students

hungary is a programme country, but you havent spent more than a year there yet? 

this is from the glocal site:

"

• Students whose nationality is one of the Erasmus+ Partner countries and who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in a Programme country/countries are considered as Partner country students. The five year reference period for this 12 month rule is calculated backwards from the submission deadline (i.e. the 5 year period from 11 January 2014 to 11 January 2019). Apply as a Partner country applicant.

• Students whose nationality is one of the Erasmus+ Partner countries who do NOT fulfil the Partner country criteria defined above (12 month rule) count as Programme country students and should apply using the Programme country application form.  

• Example: a Serbian student who lived in Germany for 13 months, 3 years before 11 January 2019 should apply as a Programme country student; a Mexican student who has been living in Spain for 11 months at 11 January 2019 (and never before in the 5 year period) should apply as a Partner country student. "

I think it's the other way around. I saw on twitter than there were 17 scholarship spots for partner countries and only 4 for programme last year. Looking quite bleak tbh

Ikr the people who do receive it will be a very fortunate few

[yet somehow, the math doesnt add up to me, based on eacea scholarship disclosures]

well it kinda makes some sense to me, now. last year they got 600 applications, of which 100 were programme countries. so 4 for a hundred--> 4% for the other 500, there were 17 scholarships, which roughly translates to the same percentage, and is a tiny bit lower (3.4).

anyway, i m sure this analysis doesnt help anything. though i do wonder if people often miscategorize themselves. (and whether that is done intentionally or not)

Yea no matter what you categorise as it's a tough course to get into. People with multiple nationalities maybe miscategorise themselves, I'm a national of both a programme and a partner country but I don't know whats less competitive tbh

hey man-numerically, i think it s an advantage to be from a partner country, as 75% of the scholarships are allocated there. (you were fully right on that, and i was wrong)

i do think the person who started this thread miscategorized themselves, which i find interesting. 

i think that the fees are substantially higher than other mundus programs, which probably prevents more self-funded students. i was a US resident, but had spent more than 12 months in greece, so to me it s a white/ black scenario, and i wouldnt feel good w/ myself applying as a partner country. 

i just wish they provided the numbers you found on the twitter page on a yearly basis.

i m getting very annoying in the process of waiting, overthinking about it and stuff. ? ocd, a little

The competition is too high. I hope I can be selected into the main list. Though I have gotten their unconditional offer already.

Hey!

Anyone heard from them yet? I received a conditional offer for GLOCAL too, and it's been absolutely nerve wracking waiting for the results.

Also, do you know if they'll send a rejection letter? Or are we to assume we haven't been chosen if we don't get a mail by 3rd?

All applicants will be informed by email whether their application has been successful or unsuccessful by April 3rd at the latest.

This is so nerve-wracking ? one more day of torture (sigh). At least today I can stop checking my email every 5 seconds. How's everyone handling this?!
