How to apply

Admissions to Mundus MAPP are centrally administered by the Central European University in Budapest. Qualitative assessment of the candidates is performed jointly by the four consortium universities. Please note that as of the 2008-2009 academic year the number of applications by third country students must be limited to three Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses maximum. In the eventual case that a student applies to more than three EM Courses he/she will be excluded from the selection for an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship.

Candidates are required to fill in an on-line application form.

Besides submitting the on-line application form candidates will be required to upload supporting documentation. The list of these documents and the relevant forms are available here. Until the new online application form is launched candidates are advised to obtain/prepare these documents as soon as possible to speed up submission.

Further information on formal requirements regarding the official documents is available on CEU's admission's pages, with the applicable requirements as outlined here.
