Application tips from our counsellors
Each consortium runs its own portal and deadline — track them individually in a spreadsheet.
Motivation letters must justify the mobility path: why those specific universities in that sequence.
Applying to three programmes maximises your odds, but tailor each letter; recycled text is obvious.
Many programmes value relevant internships or research over test scores.
