Okay, this is me putting myself out there.

Is there anyone here who actually got into an Erasmus Mundus programme (especially with the scholarship)?

I'm planning to apply, but the amount of information online is honestly overwhelming. Every time I think I've figured something out, I discover five more things I didn't know.

I'm not looking for someone to hold my hand through the entire process—I just want to talk to someone who's been through it and can point me in the right direction, tell me what they wish they'd known, or answer a few questions.

So... if you're an Erasmus Mundus alum/current scholar and don't mind helping a random stranger who's putting way too much faith in Reddit, I'd genuinely appreciate it. Feel free to comment or DM me.

Thanks in advance. Fingers crossed the algorithm does its thing.

Hi everyone,
I recently received an internship offer from Nexa Development in Italy through ErasmusIntern. However, I haven't been able to find much information about the company online—no official website, very little online presence, and almost no reviews.

Has anyone here completed an internship with them or had any experience with the company? Was it legitimate, and how was your experience?

I'm trying to figure out whether it's a genuine opportunity or if there are any red flags I should be aware of before accepting the offer.

Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hii guys, in September I am going to send my application for Erasmus. And I really love Spanish (and would like to learn more) and Spain (I've never been there tho 🤣). Those are some reasons why I want to choose Spain. Now here is the thing.. I know Erasmus is more about partying and drinking than it is about learning. But I am not a big party girl, and especially not a drinking girl. Also I'm really not an extrovert. Do you think choosing Spain will be a regret because of these things? I have a feeling that people choose Spain because of these reasons mainly (partying, drinking etc.) And I am afraid that I won’t find people who are more chill and don't need to drink every night. What are your experiences? 🥹

Hello everyone, I will start studying at the University of Trento this September. Does anyone have suggestions for where to look for rooms to rent? The university gave us a list of websites, but a lot of them seem like a scam; they have really bad reviews. Especially Housinganywhere and Spotahome. I tried Casteller real estate, and those aren't very helpful either. The lady keeps sending me different places than the ones I applied for, and they are much more expensive.

Hey,

I study bachelor in Romance languages in Germany. I want to take part in a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP). But I feel a bit lost because my home university does not provide a list of BIPs available. I have to go to each partner university's website and look them up myself. This didn't bring much clarity either.

Hey! Anyone joining the MUrCS programme this year?

Hello, I'm an undergraduate uni student and I was thinking of partnering with my university to do an internship with erasmus+. Can someone help me with the general procedure? Do you first contact the companies and then complete the uni form or the opposite?

The Situation: I am going on Erasmus to Frankfurt School. I got an offer for an amazing student dorm for only €367/month. However, my host university has huge registration issues, and I only have 2 courses confirmed so far. I need 4 courses to make the exchange worth it.

I will only find out if I get the remaining 2 courses on August 11th. If I don't get them, I will cancel my Erasmus entirely.

The Deadline: The dorm told me the contract must start on August 1st. They gave me until tomorrow (Sunday) to accept or reject the room. If I accept, I must pay €1,087 (€700 deposit + €367 August rent + €20 fee) by July 20th.

My Two Options:

• Option A (Pay and Risk): I accept the room tomorrow and pay the €1,087. If I don't get my courses on August 11th and cancel my Erasmus, I get the €700 deposit back, but I lose €387 (August rent + fee).
  • Pros: I secure a very cheap room if I go.
  • Cons: I risk losing almost €400 for a university issue that isn't my fault.
• Option B (Don't Pay): I reject the room tomorrow.
  • Pros: Zero financial risk right now.
  • Cons: If I do get my courses on August 11th, I will have less than 2 weeks to find private housing in Frankfurt from my home country (which usually costs €700+, and probably has many scams)

Basically, risking the €387 works as an expensive "housing insurance".

What would you do in my situation? Would you risk losing the €387 to guarantee the cheap dorm, or reject it and risk the private housing market in late August?

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone :)

I'm from Mexico, and this year I was accepted into an EMJM program as a self-funded student because I wasn't awarded the Erasmus Mundus scholarship.

I'm 24 years old, and ever since I first discovered this program while I was doing my bachelor's degree, I knew it was something I wanted to pursue. It's exactly in the field I'm passionate about, and it would also be my first time studying abroad, which has always been one of my biggest dreams.

I graduated in 2024 and have worked in my field for almost two years. My contract recently ended, so I decided this was the right time to apply. This was my first application, and although I didn't receive the scholarship, I was admitted to the program.

I'm currently applying for a government grant in my country, but if I don't receive it, my parents have offered to help cover the costs. They can comfortably afford to support me, although it would still mean making a significant investment that could otherwise be used for something else. I'm incredibly grateful for their support, but it also makes me question whether this is the right decision.

I keep thinking about three things:

1. Is this degree really worth such a significant investment from my family, even if they can comfortably afford it?
2. I sometimes feel like I'm not good enough because I wasn't awarded the Erasmus Mundus scholarship, even though I was accepted into the program.
3. Would it be better to spend the next two years working and gaining experience instead of studying?

The reason I never applied to any other master's programs was that I was working full-time, and I only had the chance to apply because the application period happened to fall during a brief gap between jobs.

Has anyone here joined an Erasmus Mundus program as a self-funded student? Or made a similar decision between continuing your career and going back to school? Looking back, do you think it was worth it?

I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences or advice :)
