SELECTION

The applicant should have been gained within a Bachelor degree programme (180 ECTS at time of application) in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Telecommunication Engineering, Computer Science or Physics.

Then, the professors assess all applications according to qualitative selection criteria: academic records, curriculum relevance with EMIMEO Master, institution reputation, motivation, reference letters, English level, prof./research experience.

If you have already received an EMJMD or an Erasmus Mundus Master Course/Joint Doctorate scholarship, you are not eligible for an additional EMJMD scholarship. In other words, by applying to EMIMEO you acknowledge and certify that you’re not concerned by that statement.

If pre-selected, the student will be invited to an interview ( by phone or online), which will be held in English language.

For Programme and Partner country applicants, the official selection list will be known around April 2020.
