However, a few additional criteria apply for students who wish to obtain an Erasmus Mundus scholarship:

• the number of applications must be limited to maximum three different Erasmus Mundus Master Courses ;

• individuals who have already benefited from an Erasmus Mundus scholarship are not eligible for a second scholarship in order to follow the same or another Erasmus Mundus Master Course ;

• students benefiting from an Erasmus Mundus scholarship can not be awarded another Community grant ;

• Erasmus Mundus scholarships are awarded exclusively for a full-time enrolment in one of the course editions ;

• without prejudice to high academic standards, the consortium respects equality issues, such as equal gender participation, equal opportunity, including students with special needs, and geographical diversity : No more than two of the students selected for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship should have the same nationality.

Selected candidates will receive a notification letter and selection results will be published on the TEMA website in May 2012.

Please note that selected candidates' data may be used for the purposes of evaluating the Erasmus Mundus Programme and will be made available to the EACEA, the Erasmus Mundus National Structures, the EU Delegations and the Erasmus Mundus Student and Alumni Association.
