Erasmus Mundus scholarship is one of the best if not the best scholarship in Europe. I wonder why people don't talk much about this scholarship on nairaland. The scholarship is not restricted to what the op listed. Infact there are about 120 programs across all fields you can apply to but it is very very competitive.I would advise not to just look at the course but go through the content itself. As a rule you study in at least three European countries and also be given triple diploma.

For example there is a joint Erasmus program called The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) in Pervasive Computing and Communications for Sustainable Development (PERCCOM)

The students who have passed all the four semesters will graduate with the following three national diploma:

Master in Complex Systems Engineering (University of Lorraine France)
Master in Pervasive Computing and Computers for sustainable development (Lulea University of Technology Sweden)
Master of Science in Technology (Lappeenranta University of Technology Finland)
(Note the deadline of this program is January 10)

The scholarship package for all programs is as follows.

Please, I want to knw if an interview was conducted for your course, and what were the kind of questions you were asked. Thank you.

penfold: This is really really sad, its more heartbreaking because this could have been avoided, I remember that we had discussed this extensively in pages 58-59 of this thread, and because of the several insightful comments and contributions, that particular application was successful, the applicant was even like 7 months pregnanat, like I said earlier, when dealing with the UKBA, honesty is always the best policy. That said, I think what you can do is to contact your school, it will help if your school has a rep in nigeria, if you have paid your full tution, that should help too, inform your school especially your course leader of the true situation of things, if they are still willing to take you and can extend your resumption date and can indicate that in their response, you should just make a fresh appllication, this time around with a covering note explaining your situation and officially informing them that you are pregnant. I dont think a review will work because in a review, you cannot include any other document, not even a note to explain anything, the review will be based on the same documents you submitted,and remember that your case would have been flagged, so if it is reviewed a thousand times, they will still be of the same opinion cuz the rules dont allow you to explain anything,meanwhile, if you make a fresh application, you will have the chance to explain yourself. Just remain prayerful!!!

This is certainly one of the kind of news I detest reading. I guess I have too much empathy in me. I am not familiar with the Paragraph 320 (7A) that they refer to and if the said paragraph comes with any consequences if violated.

However, if they have given you an option for administrative review, please prepare a water-tight case and do just that.

Justwise , please I hope you can assist with the request above as regards the Paragraph 320 and if it means anything deeper.
