All applications for the EUROSUD programme and Erasmus Mundus scholarships must be submitted online to the University of Glasgow. We cannot accept applications any other way.
Required documents
Students who are in their final year may still apply. You do not need to have your final degree certificate or English proficiency test results at the time of submitting your application. Please submit your official transcripts to date.
Any offer will be conditional until you submit your final degree/English proficiency certificate at the required level. We advise these are uploaded to the (application portal) by June for time to receive an unconditional offer and apply for a visa (if required).
You will not be able to enrol on the EUROSUD programme until all required documents have been received and you have accepted an Unconditional offer.
As part of your online application, you also need to submit the following supporting documents:
- Degree Certificate – (and an official translation)
- Official academic transcript(s) – (an official translation) showing full details of subjects studied and grades/marks obtained
- Two supporting reference* letters on official headed paper

It is important to explain – by reference to your background, current interests and future plans, why the EUROSUD programme in general and the suggested pathway in particular is appropriate for you.
- Evidence of your English Language Proficiency (if your first language is not English)
- A copy of the photo page of your passport
*References should typically be academic references but in cases where this is not possible then a reference from a current employer may be accepted instead. References should be dated within the last 12 months, written on official letter headed paper and include the referees signature or official stamp. Unofficial references will not be accepted. If your referee prefers their reference to remain confidential, they can email the reference to erasmusreferences@glasgow.ac.uk adding programme title and the applicant’s name in the subject line provided the email is from your referee’s professional email account and contains their full employee name and address. We will not accept references sent from personal email addresses or via a third-party.
