The feeling is great when you write these types of letters/responses, especially if you have been hammered with series of “rejection letters” over the years”. @ChinazaArinzec1 can explain that feeling.
I could remember that this master’s program was to take me through 🇫🇷, 🇪🇸, and 🇨🇿 . Dear scholarship enthusiasts, keep putting in those strong applications so you get to enjoy not only one YES, but multiple YESSSS (This can be your target too).😁
And when you get multiple opportunities; (1) Ensure you get all the offers in black & white before writing/signing any letter to decline a scholarship offer. (2) Don’t waste too much time in choosing one offer. Remember, you need to give chance to others on the waiting
especially if they are “visa students”. You wanna give them time to make their travel plans so don’t leave it too late. Finally, remember to savor the moment when it comes. 😁😋🤓 #FredofScholarshipLand#Talks#Testing#my#NewTitle
After you’ve seen the research profile/interests of a prospective supervisor on the university/department’s webpage or their personal website, always proceed to check them out on research gate (RG)and google scholar(GS) (google search).
RG & GS is where you find their latest works and get an idea of their currently funded research project. You don’t wanna contact them based on what you’ve seen on the university webpage as they might have moved past those research areas into trending ones.
Hence, contacting them based on the research area “A” they did 7 years ago when they have moved into research area “M” will prove to them that you’ve not done your homework. Also, visiting RG and GS will help you spot inactive professors. These set of people might have their

Still on reading of instructions. As you know, Erasmus programs will require mobility (2yrs-4 semester). During the application process and on the website, it might be stated that classes during the Yr 1 (Sem. 1&2) would be taught in English. Then during Year 2(Sem. 3) 1/n

think taking a 2hrs/week language course is sufficient to follow your classes. Academic language is different from what’s obtainable on the streets. Most scientific terms have an equivalent word I German/French/Spanish. Don’t fall into the hell-hole of thinking you can cope 3/n
