Each candidate that intends to be proposed for a ERASMUS MUNDUS individual scholarship if successful in his admission to the ARCHMAT Master Program, should indicate this in the application form online
The following general ERASMUS MUNDUS Programme scholarship eligibility rules apply:
• Only candidates who have applied to and have been accepted by an EMJMD consortium in accordance with its specific student's application and selection criteria, are eligible for a scholarship
• Students can apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship to the Erasmus Mundus joint Master Course(EMJMD) of their choice but the number of applications must be limited to maximum three different joint programmes
• Each project may give rise to the award of only one EU grant to any student for the same joint course over the length of the course concerned

Greece Spain France Croatia Italy Cyprus Latvia |
Lithuania Luxembourg Hungary Malta Netherlands Austria Poland |
Portugal Romania Slovenia Slovakia Finland Sweden United Kingdom |
| former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia | Iceland Liechtenstein |
Norway Turkey |
All candidates proposed on the main or the reserve lists fulfil the "12-month rule": Students whose nationality is one of the Erasmus+ Partner Countries and who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (students, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in a Programme Country are considered as Partner Country students; The five-year reference period for this 12-month rule is calculated backwards as from the submission deadline (defined by the consortia) of applying for an EMJMD student scholarship.
Students whose nationality is one of the Erasmus+ Programme Countries count as Programme Country students. Students with a Partner Country nationality who do not fulfil the Partner Country criteria defined above (12-month rule) count as Programme Country students. Students with a double nationality (of a Partner and of a Programme Country) must specify the nationality under which they submit their scholarship application.
Please note that, as Turkey, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway entered the Erasmus+ Programme as "Programme Countries", scholarships applicants who are nationals of these countries should be considered as Programme Country Students.
Scholarship candidates must have already obtained a first higher education degree or demonstrate a recognised equivalent level of learning according to national legislation and practices. Candidates who will only obtain their first higher education degree at the end of the academic year preceding the one concerned by the scholarship application can nevertheless apply for a scholarship and be selected by the consortium concerned, under the condition that they acquire the required degree prior to the beginning of the masters course edition concerned
Individuals who have already benefited from an EMJMD scholarship are not eligible for a second scholarship in order to follow the same or another EMJMD
Students benefiting from an EMJMD scholarship cannot benefit from another EU grant while pursuing their Erasmus Mundus masters studies
EMJMD students scholarships are awarded exclusively for a full-time enrolment in one of the course editions

The notification will include:
• The official EACEA letter of approval
• A model of the Student Agreement
• Student Guidelines
• Scholarship amount
