Hi women, can you post pictures or talk about your academic achievements? I need some motivation this month.
If you see this tweet, share it so women can see it.
I decided to take japa seriously last week and started applying to different countries that’s when I found out there’s a difference between a university certificate and a transcript😞😞😭😭
@etinosirrr@samoalfred Exactly.
The argument is only permissible because they admit Bachelor's students directly into PhD programs. PhD candidates should be attending seminars and colloquia not doing coursework.
Akademik yazma üzerine olan bu ders harika. Bu videoyu izledikten sonra doktoradaki tüm makalelerimin girişlerini değiştirmiştim. Doktora öğrencilerine ve genç sosyal bilimcilere tavsiye edilir. Özellikle mevcut literatür ile derdi olanlara.

Top Mistakes to Avoid in Your Erasmus Mundus Scholarship Application - LESSONS FROM A REAPPLICANT
Every year, brilliant Nigerians miss out on the Erasmus Mundus scholarship, not for lack of intelligence, but because of simple, avoidable mistakes.
Having applied for this scholarship twice myself, I have seen first-hand where many applicants go wrong.
If you’re planning to apply this year, read this carefully and avoid these pitfalls 👇
✨1. Applying Without Researching the Program
- Copy pasting the same SOP for all programs without tailoring it.
- Not understanding the program’s mobility track or focus area.
- Choosing a program only because of the “countries” instead of career fit.
✨2. Weak Statement of Purpose (SOP)
- Writing a personal life story without connecting it to the program.
- Overusing clichés like “I have always been passionate about…” without substantial examples.
- Not showing clear career goals and how Erasmus will help achieve them.
- Making it too long or too short (not following word count guidelines).
✨3. Poor Academic CV
- Using a generic job-seeking CV instead of an academic one.
- Not including research, academic projects, volunteer work, or conferences.
- Missing important sections like publications, skills, or relevant coursework.
✨4. Weak Recommendation Letters
- Asking referees who barely know you for recommendation letters
- Not briefing referees on what to highlight.
- Using recommendation letters that are too generic and not tailored to Erasmus.
✨5. Ignoring Eligibility or Application Instructions
- Missing document formatting requirements (for example ignoring the use of PDF formats only or incorrect naming of documents).
- Uploading incomplete transcripts or unofficial results.
- Applying for a program without meeting the language or degree requirements.
✨6. Not Showcasing Achievements Properly
- Hiding leadership roles, volunteer work, and projects because they think “it’s not relevant.”
- Failing to highlight impact e.g., “Organized a health campaign for 200 students” instead of “Organized a campaign.”
✨7. Poor Time Management
- Rushing to apply the night before the deadline.
- Not giving referees enough time to write letters.
- Skipping proofreading, leading to typos and errors in documents.
✨8. Weak Connection Between Profile & Program
- Applying for a program unrelated to their academic background or career path without explaining the switch.
- Not showing how their past experience prepares them for the program’s courses.
✨9. Overlooking Extra Opportunities in the Application
- Not mentioning scholarships, awards, or online courses completed.
- Ignoring extracurricular activities that prove adaptability and teamwork.
✨10. Lack of Professionalism in Communication
- Writing casual or poorly worded SOP and academic CV.
- Using unprofessional email address like [email protected] to apply for the scholarship
✨11. Only First Class Graduates Win the Scholarship
This is a big myth! Yes, strong CGPA matter, but Erasmus looks at your overall profile such as: motivation, experience, leadership, and how well you fit into the program. Many Nigerians with 2:1 have won, and even some with a 2:2.
