Hello, I am doing a postgraduate internship using the ERASMUS program. The company where I'm doing it has now offered me employment in the same position. Legally, can I sign the employment contract while still technically being in the mobility period? The employer will sign all my necessary documents for the completion of the internship.

Hi guys, Has anyone received the invitation to the online test for S-DISCO?

Hello Fellow Redditors, Seeking advice for selection of the University. I am waiting for the admission decision from both of this Universities. In case I receive admission letters from both, which one is better? What are pros/cons of these two specific Universities and their locations, considering post career opportunities, on-campus and off-campus technical part-time job opportunities, Cost of Living and other things that I haven't listed but should be considered according to you.

Details:

1. Information and Communication Technology, MSc (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg)

2. Communication & Information Technology, MSc (University of Bremen)

Your insights will be extremely helpful. Danke im Voraus.

Hello! I’m 26 years old. Because of my indecisiveness, I still haven’t found my true profession. Right now, I’ve started a job that I don’t really like anymore, but I’ve made some progress in it. However, I want to join a volunteering project. Do you think I could find a job in the country I go to after the project ends? Of course, the goal is not to find a job there, but to do meaningful work and gain experience. However, if I come back with nothing again, it would be even worse for me, and my family would be furious with me :)

Hey! I needed some guidance on how to answer this question in the application. What I do is I write about how necessary knowledge gained through this program will help me in promoting the unique mix of disciplines the program offers.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Hello, I am a pharmacy student from Vilnius. The only opportunities we had for Erasmus student exchange was one university in Portugal(required to know B1 Portuguese alongside English) and one university in Poland(required to know B1 Polish alongside English). I did not want to risk burnout by learning either Polish or Portuguese while studying at my home university, and then applying for exchange to MAYBE be accepted into these universities I mentioned above. So, I decided not to go to Erasmus.

However, I'm now in my 5th year and regretting my decision, thinking that maybe burnout would have been the right choice because I might not have missed out on studying abroad.

What to do about this? Are there any other opportunities(apart from internships) that would allow me to spend 1-2 years abroad, preferably funded by a university? Or should I just prepare to fund everything using my own savings?

I'm also considering doing a PhD just so I could go abroad, but maybe that's not a good idea?

Basically that, I am a 23 years old man going to CDMX on erasmus - january to june. I am veryyyy chill and would love to make friends to hang around and explore the city + Mexico itself. Feel free to dm lol 🧞‍♂️

I'm very interested in a master's degree as it really aligns with my career goals and academic background, but I'm unsure if I'm qualified.

• GPA: Translates to 3.8, in a prestigious university rate with a 6% acceptance rate.
• IELTS: Score is 7.0, which meets the requirements but feels low.
• Current Status: In my last semester of my bachelor’s degree and all my classes are related to the degree.
• Experience:
  • Developed startups during my degree.
  • Volunteered at an incubator giving advice to entrepreneurs.
  • Participated with nonprofit organizations that share the programme’s goal from a young age.
  • Worked at a large and globally known company and contributed to significant growth.
• Thesis: I have a solid idea for my thesis, it is a topic I’m very passionate about and relates to the university’s specializations.
• Publications and Awards: Have not been published or won any major prizes, as I have focused on working on projects.

Retaking the IELTS and translating my grades would be expensive. I don’t want to be pessimistic. I just want to be realistic. This master seems like the next natural step in my journey but perhaps I’m not ready for it, yet.

Hello everyone ! As part of my research project course at the university, I am seeking opinions from undergraduate students on their motivations for pursuing master's studies or not:

Erasmus+ stajımı yapmayı planlıyorum ve Litvanya, Letonya, Estonya ya da başka bir Doğu Avrupa ülkesini düşünüyorum. Son zamanlarda bu ülkelerde staj yapan veya yakında gidecek olan var mı?

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to do my Erasmus+ internship and I’m considering Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, or maybe another Eastern European country. I’m curious if anyone has done their internship in these countries recently or if anyone’s heading there soon?

Hi everyone. I have a bit of a nasty question. I understand that it's difficult to talk about money.

So... As you may know, EMJ no longer offers full scholarships, and the master's degree costs a total of 18.000 euros. Making the decision to study (if you are accepted) and pay that amount is a bit difficult.

To make that decision, I would like to ask those who have already graduated from this master's degree what their economic and work situation is like once they graduate. Do they have good job opportunities? Do the salaries of the jobs compensate for the investment? What are the jobs that can be accessed and how much do they pay approximately?

I understand that it's not a nice subject. I apologize, I'm from Argentina and I KNOW that the work situation of journalists is unsustainable. I don't understand (and my family asks me) if the investment is really something that will serve me in the future or if I'll continue to be the same economically and professionally.

I hope you can answer me... Thank you.

Hello everyone, in the beggining of next year I'm going on erasmus for a semester and I can't decide if I should go to Gdansk or Wroclaw (I'm studying business), the universities are the following:

- Gdansk University of Technology

- Wroclaw University of Economics and Business

Also there are some aspects that matter to me on making this decision. Are there a lot of students in the city? How good are the dormitories in general? How is night life? Can you travel cheaply to other countries and do these cities have an active ESN group?

Finally I heard that all the subjects have mandatory presential classes at the Gdansk University of Technology, is it really like that or does it depend on the teacher?

Hello! I will be soon moving to Lisbon for my Erasmus internship and the only thing left for me is to find an apartment to stay. I have been searching through Idealista and platforms like Spot a Home, Uni Places, Inlife, Erasmus Housing etc. One thing I don't really like about these platforms (except Idealista) is that I first have to book the apartment and pay, without talking with someone first. That makes me kinda sceptical ,if I am being honest, I would rather avoid being scammed. Has anyone booked an apartment through these sites and can share their experience? (Especially if it was on Lisbon)

Does anyone have any good agency to recommend? Or any other good site to use? And any neighbourhoods to stay? They have told me about Benfica, Arroios, Intendente, Alameda, Saldanha, Anjos etc.

Thank you in advance for any help and tips.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently in the process of applying for the Erasmus Mundus Journalism program (super excited about it!). While going through the application requirements, I came across the application form, which is provided as a PDF.

Here’s my question:

• Should I convert the PDF to a Word document and fill it out digitally?
• Or should I print it, fill it out by hand, and then scan it back into a PDF?

I want to make sure I submit it in the correct format and avoid any issues. If anyone here has gone through the process or has any insights, I’d really appreciate your advice!

Thanks in advance, and good luck to everyone else applying this year. 😊

can someone explain what this means: ‘being proficient in the languages suitable for chosen study pathway English; English+Spanish;English+French; or Spanish+English+French

Someone who’s proficient in JUST English can’t apply for this?!

I need your suggestions regarding an Issue.
I am currently studying in Turkey and I have been selected for fully funded Erasmus+ Exchange program for a Semester in Poland. Currently I am in my 4th semester and got selected for 5th semester. I applied for the Poland National Visa by submitting every supporting documents, including Erasmus+ grant letter, Erasmus+ Learning agreement etc. But the decision came out negative and Visa got refused, with the following reason

10. "There are reasonable doubts regarding the reliability of the statements you made about the purpose of your stay in the territory of the Republic of Poland due to the evidence that is available to the authority or due to objective circumstances indicating that the purpose of the stay could be different than declared."

To be honest, I don't have any idea about the exact reason of this refusal as I submitted every possible supporting Erasmus+ Document. But one reason could be the "Cover Letter" which I didn't submit because it was not a requirement.

Or, the other reason could be the revocation of my previous Lithuanian Schengen visa, which was also for Erasmus, but I attached the photocopy of that Visa with my original Application and also contacted the Embassy but the Consular office said, the lithuanian revocation has nothing to do with Poland. (BTW that visa got revoked because I sent an Email to Embassy inquiring if I can book a new connecting flight instead of the direct fllght, which I submitted at the time of application)

Well, now I have right to appeal, and I am thinking of doing that. I need your suggestion what additional supporting documents should I attach with my Appeal Cover letter. I have already asked my Host University and they sent me a letter of confirmation ( to the Embassy) which I'll submit with my Appeal Letter.

Please suggest.

Hi,

My roommate is an Erasmus student who told me I should post here regarding accommodation availability in Dublin. Anyways, I am going on exchange for the next semester but I have to transfer my student accommodation lease as it is booked for two semester. I live in Yugo Adcairn house with rent of 1240 a month including bills and utilities. The place is 20 min away from trinity and 45mins from UCD. If someone is in interested, Lmk.

Got to know so many erasmus student by living here, it sucks that y'all leave after a semester.

Hi everyone! I’ll be moving to Madrid in early January for a semester, and I’ve been searching for accommodation. I came across a really nice apartment that I like. It’s about 30-40 minutes from my university by public transport, but the neighborhood looks great, so I’m considering it.

I started chatting with the landlord on Idealista, and everything seemed fine—until she asked if we could move the conversation to WhatsApp. That raised a red flag for me, especially considering some of the scams I’ve heard about on Idealista.

I told her I’m uncomfortable switching to WhatsApp, but she replied that “everyone here chats on WhatsApp.” I haven’t responded yet, and I’m feeling a bit unsure about how to proceed.

Is this a normal practice in Spain, or should I stick to communicating through Idealista for safety?

I am mainly interested in asking those who have successfully scored the EMJM scholarship in META 4.0 program. I am a Metallurgy and Materials Engineer with research mainly focused on Advance Ceramic Materials, and apart from one 6-week internship, I have very limited experience with manufacturing, However, I am interested in Manufacturing Sector.

I feel like I shouldn't.

i can’t decide which place to go for erasmus, any advice?

Hi everyone, I’m going to Valencia in January for 4/6 months and I’m struggling to find a place to stay. Does anybody that has done erasmus in valencia know what’s the best place to look for a room or perhaps has their landlord contact info? Thanks in advance!

Curious to know the GPA of Mundus scholarship winners, particularly from social sciences masters like MAPP or EMGS. I’m wondering if 3.79/4 is competitive enough to have hopes of winning. Thanks in advance

Hi! I’m coming to Verona in February to study as an exchange student, but I’m struggling to find a place to stay. Lots of the uni accommodation is already taken since I’m only there for the second semester, and lots of the ones on sites like Airbnb and the student housing sites that show up aren’t very affordable. Does anybody have some recommendations of websites, letting agents or landlords in the city? Thanks

Hi, I’m a math student, and I’m considering doing an Erasmus exchange in my fourth year of studies.

I’m interested in Karlstad University or Linnaeus University in Sweden, the University of Athens in Greece, or the University of Exeter in England.

I’d like to know more about what it’s like to study there, especially the teaching methods, student housing, and general living costs.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! :)

So I am planing to apply for Erasmus for Image Processing program. But my gpa is very low. It is only 70%. But I have research paper published related to Image Processing and OpenCV. Can my low gpa be ignored because of my research paper or should I just forget about it?

Hey y'all! Has anyone been part of the WOP-P/has applied in the past? I'm in the process of getting my application ready, but the imposter syndrome is kicking in haha.

I have a background in HR— I graduated with a B.A. in HR from an American university and have two years of work experience. Right now, I'm working as an HR Business Partner in my home country in Latam. However, I don’t have much research experience aside from a couple of research papers and case studies I completed during my junior and senior years. I also only took two psychology courses in college, even though many HR curricula overlap with IO Psychology.

I'm finding it a little challenging to get in touch with my college professors and would really like to secure at least one academic recommendation letter.

If you have any advice, insights, or even some encouraging words, I would greatly appreciate it! 🥲 I'm also taking a Psychological Research Specialization course from the APA/PsycLearn to try to strengthen my application.

Hi everyone
I’m a student currently studying in North Africa, and I hold an EU passport. I am looking for an eend-of-studies internship abroad, and the company I’m interested in has suggested applying for Erasmus+ funding, as they can’t offer me a remuneration. However, I’m not enrolled at a European university, so would it still be feasible for me to apply for Erasmus+ funding for this internship ?

Has anyone been in a similar situation, or does anyone maybe have any advice on how to approach this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
