Application process
The application is online in the system Mobility-Online; the first part is an online form where you fill in your personal information, information about your current studies, the semester you wish to study abroad, the subject area you plan to study abroad and up to three partner universities in order of priority.
After you have submitted the online form, you will receive an email requiring you to go back into the system by following the link provided, and upload your supporting documents into the system. The supporting documents to upload are the following:
1. Personal statement
Your personal statement needs to be 1-2 pages, written to Miun’s reviewers in English. Describe who you are, how the exchange period fit into and add value to your studies and/or future career. Please include the following information:
· Personal information (who you are, previous studies, and relevant experience).
· Purpose of the planned study abroad. What will you learn? How will the experience impact and add value to your studies and future career plans? Include your intended partner university and give examples of courses that you would like to take.
· How you can help inspire and motivate others to study abroad.
· Applicants to partner universities in Australia, USA, and Canada include a list with courses of interest that you find on their website. Pick at least 6 courses. If you cannot find courses available for the coming academic year, select from the current course availability. Be sure to choose from courses offered in the right semester (fall or spring).
2. Transcript of records
Download your transcript of records in English from the student portal/Ladok showing your completed courses at MIUN to date. Save as PDF on your computer before uploading. If you have completed courses at other universities too, please scan all your university transcripts into one single PDF file before uploading. Please note that only credits registered in Ladok will count towards your merit score.
3. Certificate of language proficiency (can be uploaded later)
Certificate of language proficiency is usually not required for admission to partner universities within Europe if studying in English, but may be needed if you plan to study in German, French, or Spanish. Partner universities outside of Europe may require TOEFL results or similar.
4. Other supporting documents, if applicable
Certificate of involvement in the Student Union’s international committee, Buddy programme, or employment as a student ambassador. This adds extra merit to your application.
