Applications for the 2011-2013 study cycle are: CLOSED
Anyone interested in participating in the MUNDUS URBANO Masters Degree
program “International Cooperation and Urban Development” should
carefully revise the nature and requirements for this course before
applying in order to avoid unnecessary disappointment and cost. Once you
are convinced that this course is the one you really want, you should
apply as soon as possible: Many applicants cannot make it to arrive at
the beginning of the course because they underestimate the length of
time consumed by administrative processes in diplomatic and academic
institutions |

visa application
|
Applicants are advised to get informed about EU visa requirements at an
early stage. Since the study will begin in Darmstadt, the German
consulate or embassy in your country should be contacted. Apart from the
Acceptance Letter a cash deposit at a bank and the APS check (see below)
are necessary in some countries before a visa may be granted. This may
hold up your application for several months. However, applicants with
confirmed DAAD or ERASMUS MUNDUS scholarships usually need less time.
Please keep in mind that for MUNDUS URBANO study you will need an
additional visa for the continuation of your course in the second
country (except if you are an EU citizen). |
|
residence permit |
Your entry visa (normally 90 days) to Germany needs to be complemented
by a student residence permit after enrolment at the university. |
|
