Each partner then assesses all application according to qualitative selection criteria (e.g. academic records, reputation of the applicant home institution, English level, reco letters, motivation, experience...). A first selection list is proposed to the European Commission for approval: end of January for third country applicants (Category A), end of May for EU and scholars (Category B) NB: If you have NOT been contacted by email at that date, this means you are NOT part of the Main or Reserve List.
Other applicants can apply before April 30th and are informed during summer time.
The final selection will ensure a good balance in terms of countries of origin of the incoming students. For Category A the official Erasmus Mundus selection list will be known around April. For Category B, it should be after June.
