Admission
The EMMIE program is open to individuals of all academic backgrounds and of all nationalities. Individuals must be present on-site and in-person for the full duration of the 18-month program.
Candidates must have completed at minimum an undergraduate degree with a minimum of 240 ECTS.
Candidates must submit a copy of their final transcript and university degrees in order to be eligible for the upcoming cohort. Candidates who are currently completing their degree and have not completed their final exams prior to the application deadline, are not eligible.
The program is of an interdisciplinary nature and therefore, there are no disciplinary requirements set to have a diploma from a particular field of study. All fields of academic study are welcome to apply.
Please note that if one or more of your university degrees was conducted in English, you are not required to provide additional proof of language proficiency.
Please consult the Practical information tab for additional details and information.
Selection Criteria
All applications are subjected to an initial review to ensure eligibility requirements are met and documentation submitted is complete. Applications are then reviewed by members of the EMMIE selection committee with representatives of all hosting institutions and the final selection is based on consensus agreement. The selection procedure is based on academic qualifications, with a focus on the following indicators:
- Academic background
- Motivation letter
- Language skills
- Entrepreneurial experience and/or ongoing projects.
Interviews will be awarded to top candidates and a secondary interview may be requested.
All applications go through the same selection process regardless of the student’s gender. However, for students that are at the same level and have the same qualifications, priority will be given to under-represented genders. Students with special needs are encouraged to apply to the program and should inform the administrative coordinator upon application, to allow us to take the necessary measures of care if the student is finally admitted to the program.
Personal Data
The European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), in the context of managing the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters, collects and processes the personal data of some of the candidates. In particular, certain data of the scholarship holders and non-scholarship holders is shared with the Agency and treated according to this privacy statement.
Information relating to individuals’ personal data is collected and used in accordance with the Regulation (EC) N° 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18.12.2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (OJ L8 of 12.1.2001, p. 1).
If a candidate is not selected, their personal documents uploaded to apply to the EMMIE platform will be deleted.
If a candidate is selected and does participate in the EMMIE program, their personal documents will be on file for at least five years after graduation. EMMIE adheres to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC, under the University of Liège privacy policy.
