Admission Criteria and Enrolment Procedure. The Programme is open to students who have earned 240 ECTS credits in an economics or applied economics university study programme or have a bachelor degree in these areas that is considered by the Joint Board of Studies to be equivalent. Applicants that are enrolled in the final year of their academic programme should submit an official letter in English from their university confirming that the student is expected to finalise his/her course at the end of the current academic year, and submit up-to-date authenticated transcripts with the results of the previous years. The proficiency in English of the students of the partner universities is checked by the local academic co-ordinators. Students from other universities should submit proof of a computer-based TOEFL level of minimum 230 (or its equivalent in the so-called next-generation TOEFL score system), or a IELTS grade of at least 6.5, or should submit proof of having studied at least one academic year in an English-language programme. The selection criteria are common to all students and relate primarily to study results. Students of the participating universities enrol at their home university. Non-Mundus students who have studied at a university different from the participating universities, enrol at the partner university of their country, if any. Non-Mundus students from a university in a non-partner country, can enrol at the partner university of their choice. Erasmus MUNDUS students apply at the Erasmus Mundus co- ordinating university, the University of Antwerp.
