IMLEX student application and admission: Frequently asked questions

Q: Can I submit my language certificate (or other attachment) after the submission deadline?
A: No, we will not process attachments that arrive after the deadline, unless we separately ask you to send some complementary documents. There is one week time to supplement your application after the application form submission deadline. If you will graduate after the application deadline, you are allowed to submit the degree documents later.

Q: What kind of scholarships are available in IMLEX?
A: In 2026 admission round we issue full Erasmus Mundus scholarhips for all nationalities. In addition, it will be possible to enroll as self-funded, and waivers may be available to cover the IMLEX participation fee partially or in whole. Self-funded students can benefit from Erasmus+ mobility funding for one or two semesters, and other study grants, such as Manutech-SLEIGHT scholarships.

Q: What is my category: Programme or Partner country student?
A: You don’t need to know this when submitting the application. EMJM scholarhips are the same for all students. If you enroll as self-funded, there are no consortium fees for students who are citizens of EU/EEA -countries or Switzerland.
