Update: It's interesting that I just received an email (16 hours after posting this message) saying I've been admitted with a nomination of the Erasmus Mundus scholarship. I feel so happy :) Wish you all good luck! BTW, I'm from a "Third Country". Mon, 02 Mar 2009 19:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60969 Ah, so this situation is common. I'm "third country national" too and haven't received anything yet as well. I even sent them several emails asking to provide at least some directions what to expect. Received a standard server-issued letter "We have received your e-mail to the EMLE programme and will reply as soon as possible." And nothing else. So I'm still waiting. At least I'm not alone... Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60972 Yeap! excluding "perspective" I dont know anyone else that have the outcome already... Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60973 I just received an email stating that I was accepted. I guess they are having trouble in informing everyone. Please see the message below: "We have sent out the e-mails regarding admission to the EMLE programme on February 19, but apparently not everybody has received it in good order. Our apologies for that. There is also a possibility that you did receive our email, but that you have not yet replied to us. Please find hereunder the text as we sent on 19 February, with the adjustment that the deadline to reply is now set on 9 March 2009." Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:05:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60974 uuuuf now we have news... I think that we will have to send them an email... Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60975 I guess they will contact everyone shortly. Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60976 You received an email at 8pm? (that's the local time at Rotterdam right now). Are they still working at this time? Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60977 My email states that I received the message 41 minutes ago. Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60978 I just received the same email jeje Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:27:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60980 so you all got accepted guys? // In my case - still nothing. Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:27:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60981 yeap Mon, 02 Mar 2009 21:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60990 finally. Accepted as well. No Scholarship, however. Congratulations, everyone! Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:35:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#60999 Accepted but no scholarship as well.I received the mail tonight...How to get one,because otherwise I am affraid I could not meet the expenses Ciao all Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#61000 I was also accepted without scholarship. I dont think we can do anything at this point but try to save money or borrow money from a bank. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL! Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#61001 It is difficult at this point... Im also think that... I belive that the best option is to borrow money... Anyone knows o have an idea about the living and travel expenses, obviously that will depend of the choices but an average idea can be helpful... dont you think? Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#61003 Hello! I am also accepted without scholarship. Congratulations to all! However I am still thinking whether this is the right programme for me ... Re: expences. As I understand the major problem is renting a flat. It will be rather difficult to find a good place to live for 3 months (for a good price). Most of the good offers are for 1 year. Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#61004 http://www.emle.org/Subpages_rubric/index.php?rubric=EMLE_tuition_fees The costs of living vary substantially across the different locations. As a rough guide, accommodations costs are around € 350 per month in Hamburg and € 400 – € 500 in Rotterdam. Mon, 02 Mar 2009 23:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#61006 oh, by the way, where are from, guys? I believe you all are 3d country applicants? I'm from Ukraine.

But I do hope so. Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#61033 guys you are pretty long from my country...

Hey guys, how do you meet the costs...I am really curious to know what to do! Wed, 04 Mar 2009 09:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#61366 Congratulation guys.!! It seems that there are only 30 (of 330 third country candidates) get a place. Basically, only 12 candidates will receive scholarships of this year. Very very lucky. For me, I am looking for other funding on this programme. At least try to save some accommodation and living costs. Fri, 06 Mar 2009 14:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#61856 To everyone accepted without scholarship. I'm doing EMLE this year (also without scholarship) and it is totally worth it. It's not an easy task to raise the money, but it's a good investment, and compared to a US based LLM, its dirt cheap, and you get to live in 3 different european cities. Sat, 07 Mar 2009 00:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#61971 But not that cheap for everyone!!! Anyway,if somebody can recommend some sources of funding...pls do not hesitate.Thanks Sun, 15 Mar 2009 18:29:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#63659 it 's true, it's not easy to look for granting esp. in this recession. After doing math, at least 170,000 euro we should have. (8,500 euro for tuition fees, and plus in double for living expenses.( 350-450 euro for accommodation + 300-400 for living costs.) approximately per moth ..at least 800 euro.. huh huh ! ! Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#64949 Hi all. Congrats for those who got in. I suppose all those who've heard are Third Country students? I'm catagorised as an EU, having been here for a while. Does anyone know when I should be expecting a reply? Chen J.- How did you come across that stat; 30/330? I thought competition would be high but when you see the numbers it's something else. Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#64995 Hello to everybody! does anybody know if it's still posiible to appl;y for scholarship from Erasmus Mundus?And if so, where can I find the application?I've searching the site, but couldn't find it!Is there any deadline??? Please, whoever knows, just let me know... Fri, 20 Mar 2009 08:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#65140 Hi Cello Sorry for my unclear information. Yes, for studying in Europe, this programme is one of the highest compettion programmes. As you be hold as EU students (staying in eurpoean country more than one year, right?) at least 2 months after applying you will know the result I guese. What I got 30:330 is ..."The Joint Selection Committee has received 330 eligible third country applications, while for third country students there are only 30 places available in the programme (12 of them receiving an Erasmus Mundus scholarship; 18 of them without an Erasmus Mundus scholarship." ... 330 means only 3rd country students who have a right qualification. Actually each year there are over 1,000 applicatns from only 3rd country applying to this programme. Last year there was 360 applicants eligible and only 36 were admitted, 28 of them received EM scholarships. These number is exclude the amount of EU students. In fact, as I discussed with some alumni, there are about 60-90 students per year - both 3rd country and EU students.Those of them were seperated to each universities. To giwros. for this year, I think it's impossible. If you are EU students, may be you should submit all document before the deadline- this 30 Mar. But if you are 3rd country student, and want to apply EM scholarship, the programme require you to apply before 15 Dec. Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:41:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#65528 Hi, I'm a EU student and I just applied for the admission. Do you know how does it take to have an answer? However, I hope that some of you already admitted can tell me which acedemic records have been sufficient. Is it true that also a three year's degree can be enough? Or, as I fear, they will privilege already p.hD students? Thank you all! Sun, 22 Mar 2009 18:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#65577 Im from Jamaica, the home of Bob Marley and reggae music ...and world class athletes :-). Ive also been accepted as a third country national but without a scholarship. It will definitely be a challenge to raise the funds. Nevertheless, Im grateful to have been included in the 30 chosen from the eligible 330 applicants. Our admission process took roughly 3 months - from application to admission. They did say that there were persons with 2 or more masters and they were ranked higher. So it seems than anyone without at least one master would be at a disadvantage. Then again, it depends of the quality of graduates that you go up against. Seems the 3rd country nationals were extremely well qualified. Tue, 24 Mar 2009 16:26:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#65974 Nice to hear from Jamaica! I hope you will get to participate in the programme. I have a question though re: number of scholarships for. The email writes that there are only 12 scholarships available for 3rd country students, but the website states that there are 14 in one page and then 19 in another page. Does anyone have an explanation for the published discrepancies in the number of scholarships available for 3rd country students? Tue, 24 Mar 2009 16:28:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#65975 Could somebody already admitted tell me which credentials he/she has demontrated? For example, master toefl internships ... Thank you! Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#66022 Hey everyone! Great to see applicant from so many different places =) I am applying from Turkey if i can manage to collect everything till deadline.. Did anyone hear or know if someone has been accepted "conditionally" before submitting a TOEFL or IELTS? I am hoping I will have an IELTS in beginning of Mai but I' am afraid it will be too late... Any ideas? =) Sat, 28 Mar 2009 10:24:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#66641 Chen- Thanks. That was really helpful. Are you also applying as well? Also, I second armando5777 and would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on what level of qualification does the general accepted applications of this programme have. If there's any EU applicants having heard any news, please please share:)! Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#66679 Hello, I'm from Brazil and have been admitted for the program without scholarship, but will be attending it for sure. As to my profile, I got 104 in the TOEFL IBT, don't have a master degree yet, but had a broad professional experience as a lawyer so far. I also tried to demonstrate through my personnal statement the academic and professional history that led me to have a great insterest in studing law and economics at EMLE program. Hope it helps a bit and looking forward to meet you in Europe! Wed, 01 Apr 2009 23:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#67287 Hi! I received an email a couple of weeks ago indicating that my terms are Rotterdam – Bologna –Bologna. I have reviewed google and definitively is a lot cheaper to share accommodation and other expenses… so, if anyone got the same or some of the three terms in one of those cities, I think it will be a good idea have some kind of contact with the aim of looking for accommodation together? Don’t you think? Kind regards Tue, 28 Apr 2009 16:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#69942 Hi did you receive any update for the EMLE about the admission of EU student? Tue, 12 May 2009 20:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70842 I have just received an email confirming me my acceptance to the programme. EU student without scholarships, my allocations are Rotterdam-Hamburg-Manchester. Tue, 12 May 2009 20:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70843 I've been selected too!!!! There was just a mistake in my destinations (on my file there were some destinations that I didn't requested). However...It's the time to find a house togheter!! Tue, 12 May 2009 22:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70849 hey Armando5777 Great news! What are your destinations supposed to be? I have no clues how to find accommodation for such short period of time. There are already some groups on Facebook, maybe we could get advices from them. Cheers Wed, 13 May 2009 10:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70872 hai everyone =) im admitted as well. my allocations are: Hamburg - Hamburg - Manchester. is there any facebook grp so we may arrange smt before arriving there? cheers =) Wed, 13 May 2009 13:35:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70889 hI everyone, congrats for all accepted, I didn´t receive any new from EMLE. I am a EU student still waiting for admission. you know some day till i should wait for admission. will they answer to all applicants or just those accepted? I urgently need to confirm other master but EMLE is my first preference. there is any posibility to get in so I should wait or it will be better forget it. Thanks a lot.. Wed, 13 May 2009 14:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70891 Hey Francisco21 I think that the best would be to send them an email. Thu, 14 May 2009 08:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70940 Hi! Nice meeting u all here:) I'm from China.I'm glad to be admitted by the program. My allocations are Rotterdam, Bologna and Rotterdam. I'm glad to see that some of u chose the same cities in some of the three terms as me. Yesterday, I found the acommendation recommended by EUR was extremely high. I'm afraid I must be crazy last year to choose Rotterdam twice, ToT. If u find any inforamtion about the housing cheaper and near the EUR, don't hesitate to tell me. Thu, 14 May 2009 12:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70958 Indeed Rotterdam is very expensive as far as I ve heard. Maybe u shud consider to change one of them.. im kindof tempted to change my 1. or 2. term to Vienna or Bologna. anyone has changed it before? id appreciate any feedback from anyone who spent his/her term in Bologna or Vienna? Thanks! Thu, 14 May 2009 12:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70959 Rotterdam is the most expensive and I will change it, as I have been selected to go there in the first term. I will change also Aix, in the third term, because, as it is a turistic resort, in that period it will be really hard to find a cheap room! Thu, 14 May 2009 12:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70961 Vienna is only possible for the third right, isn't it? Thu, 14 May 2009 14:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70968 right.. Vienna is only possible to choose on 3. anyway maybe it is better to spent each term in each dif uni? just thinking "outloud" : i will definetly stick to Hamburg for at least 1 term BUT Bologna still looks very attractive to me THO 3 trimester in 3 different cities is just scary (to find flats etc =) Thu, 14 May 2009 18:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#70982 hey, I'm also accepted! My allocation is Bologna - Hamburg - Aix-en-Provence. This is the facebook group for EMLE 2009-2010: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#/group.php?gid=54356698987 cheers Sat, 23 May 2009 18:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#71413 cool guys Wed, 27 May 2009 18:50:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#71575 hI EVERYONE, I finally get accepted, my terms are rotterdam, hamburg and hamburg. It is a great new and I feel very proud. even thoug i have some doubts if this program is suited for my needs. I have heard that EMLE is totally theory, there is no - practical-view of law, as case studies or real problems of applying law. I am a lawyer who wanna be a lawyer (no teacher) , so what i need is a master degree where i can put in practice the knowledge that I got. what you know about EMLE? is it true that EMLE is mostly theory? Thaks for your help¡¡¡ Fri, 29 May 2009 05:26:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#71677 Hi everyone, I also got accepted for the EMLE ( bologna-bologna-aix), but I'm not sure yet whether I will accept or not. Could you guys maybe post some backgrounds? I am a Master in Law and Economics from the KULeuven (Belgium), workexperience: 3-month internship at european Commission, TOEFl iBT score 114. thanks a lot!!! Wed, 03 Jun 2009 21:07:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#71895 Girls, Guys, I am living in Rotterdam. This has been my home town for the last 7 years. As I got accepted my room overhere will be free from sept/okt till july. Anyone interested for subletting? What prices could or should I ask for this. It is including utilities, and my bicycle (it's holland.....) I live with 2 other room mates. Also a friend of mine is doing EMLE. His room will be free as well. So we will be able to host 2 peeps in Rotterdam for one year. Or it is possible to split this....... My friend and I are going to bologna-gent-Haifa. Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:46:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/59266/last#72311 Hi all, I've a question: the grant is 21000e and so far I know that 8500e goes to tuition fees (for 3rd country students) and how about the rest of the money? Do they give as a stipend the remaining grant or generally how is grant details? PS. I was wondering if it is tax free then the stipend should be around 1200e per month (21000-8500-x=12000. 12000/10months) ?

If anyone has any personal experience to share (i.e. how to prepare application documents, references and personal statement), would be very grateful for any advice. Thanks much!
