Erasmus Mundus: IMEC的錄取評分標準

申請學校的時候，最重要的就是要把每一個學程的錄取標準和資格看清楚，將自己的申請文件符合他們的錄取標準，錄取機會才會大（看似很平凡又理所當然的一句話，但是卻是很多人容易忽略的重點）。我這次申請的學程Erasmus Mundus- International Master Programme in Early Childhood Education and Care在網頁上公布的申請標準如下：


原文網頁：IMEC-Who can apply?
"Relevance and excellence of academic background"
我想指的是大學的科系和成績，由畢業證書和成績單即可得知。

"Relevant experience and professional training"
但是這句話又是指什麼呢？相關的工作經驗和專業的訓練？
這個部分就必須在履歷表(CV)和讀書計畫(SOP)裡呈現，同時也必須在推薦函請上司或老師大大讚賞一下你的工作能力。

再看到獎學金的名額，非歐盟學生大約8-10名，歐盟學生約3-5名。

原文：
Criteria for application
In order to apply and have your application assessed, you must meet these criteria:

Bachelor degree or equivalent with  significant relevance  to early childhood education (you must document this through academic diplomas / transcripts)
Relevant work experience (you must document this through work testimonials that shows you have worked directly with or towards young children)
Sufficient command of written and oral English
Computer knowledge and skills
The applications are evaluated by a combination of different factors. The factors and their weight are:

Relevance and excellence of academic background (weight: 50 %)
Relevant experience and professional training (weight: 25 %)
The submitted statement of purpose (weight: 15 %)
Letters of reference (weight: 10 %)
The final selection of students is made by the IMEC Selection Committee, which consists of representatives from all four partner institutions. No more than 2 of the successful applicants should have the same nationality. Successful applicants cannot previously have received Erasmus Mundus scholarships. Applicants who already hold a master degree in early childhood education and care or very related fields will not be prioritized.

The selected students are proposed for Erasmus Mundus scholarships, subject to the decision by the European Commission's Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).

It is not possible to apply for a scholarship without a place on IMEC. Once you have been accepted as a student on IMEC, the IMEC consortia will apply for a scholarship on your behalf.



Quotes
EACEA sets the quotes of number of given scholarships for each cohort. It is usually around 8–10 none-EU scholarships and 3-5 EU scholarships.
