I came across these useful materials shared by Erasmus Mundus scholar Anam Shahzad.
They include templates for a Europass CV, LOM & Recommendation Letter.
If you're planning to apply for Erasmus Mundus scholarships, you may find them helpful.

Erasmus Mundus lesson #1:
Every country grades differently.
A 14/20 in France can be a strong grade. Don’t panic when your marks look “low” compared to home.
Erasmus Mundus lesson #2:
Moving countries every semester sounds exciting, and it is. But it also means new paperwork, new housing and new friends, again and again.
Pack light. Stay flexible.
Erasmus Mundus lesson #3:
Your classmates become your global network.
Years later, they’re the ones sharing job openings, reviewing your papers and hosting you when you travel.

8 things to investigate before choosing an Erasmus Mundus programme
Don't choose an Erasmus Mundus programme simply because someone announced that it is fully funded.
A scholarship can cover your expenses, but that doesn't automatically make the programme suitable for your academic background or career plans.
Before applying, investigate these 8 things.
A thread 🧵👇

One reality I learnt very quickly during my Erasmus Mundus program:
you have to be autonomous, able to carry out your work independently.
I remember that whenever we were asked to form groups, some colleagues didn't want me in theirs, simply because I couldn't speak their native language when they worked together.
Many times, I had to wait until I found someone else who had also been left out. Then we formed our own group of "rejectees."
The Erasmus Mundus programme is a fantastic experience and a wonderful investment of two years.
However, be ready for surprises.

A quick word of encouragement for anyone stressing over a delayed response from a prospective supervisor (pi):
Silence or delays right now usually just mean they are completely swamped with end-of-year academic commitments. It is not a reflection of your worth or your research potential!
Be patient, stay polite in your follow-ups, and keep building your profile in the background. Keep executing! 🌍✈️

Commonwealth nomination interview ✅
Few questions I was asked:
- what's my proposed research topic
- How does it relate to Nigeria
- Where have I worked and for how long
- How has my work experience influenced my proposed research topic
- Two farm produce from my town
I'm sat for commonwealth today.
Getting accredited at Department of Scholarship Award.
Heading to Blue spring hotel for interview afterwards.

Before you hit submit on your winter scholarship applications, stop.
Do not treat your Statement of Purpose as complete until you have examined the language across these four critical levels.
Run this audit right now: 🧵👇

If I give you a sample SOP, it can help you understand an application.
But It can also tempt you to write someone else’s story.
Here is how to study a sample without copying its identity. 🧵👇
If you write a personal statement for a scholarship application, it will be among top 0.1% 😂🙌
Back when I was in school, my friends and I used to talk about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. We would playfully figure out which level we were on and what we needed most at that point in our lives.
The crazy thing is, looking back now, I realize how much those conversations actually shaped the way I think and approach life. Without even knowing it, I had started making decisions based on what I needed most at each stage, what could wait, and what had to come first.
👉 Growing up i was moved from one house to another , saw my Late Mum struggled to pay rent for our one room apartment In Lagos, my younger brother and I were struggling, at some point i had to work as an house boy i was barely 12 years, FZ had to go learn Plumbing.
One day, I swore to myself that when i grow up, housing will never be a problem.
So in my first 4 years of trading👇
➡️ One house for my family in my hometown
➡️ I built one my grandma (that woman doesn't like the city)
➡️One hometown house for me and my brothers
➡️ Got my first duplex ( there is a lot more now )
Well I went into the Real estate business fully, a lot of houses now, excluding the student hostel buildings , apartment buildings that brings good ROI but who is still counting......
I told myself that i am going to have so many houses that i will forget some exists
All these were sponsored by Trading 🥂
My Family will never experience Poverty again even when i grow old and die, invested in Elder bro's Business, he doing very well, Taught my Younger brother @Fznation01 how to trade 4 years ago, Well he is currently one the best traders i know today.
CARS? I only started looking into cars recently. I’ve never really been a car guy.
So when you see me spending money on depreciating assets, don’t pressure yourself to do the same. But if you feel that pressure, use it as motivation to work harder and get yourself to that level too.
There’s a process to these things. Keep your head down, stay focused, and put in the work. The goal is to get to a point where you can comfortably afford the things you want without putting yourself in a difficult position financially.
The key takeaway✅ : I don't spend majority of my trading profit on depreciating assets, I invest the profits and spend the leftovers
Did all these in 6 years and i will do more, I am just getting started🥂

RESEARCH MANUSCRIPT IS DIFFERENT FROM A RESEARCH PROJECT!
A research manuscript is a concise and structured version of your research project, prepared for publication in an academic journal.
Your manuscript should communicate your research findings clearly, accurately and concisely.
Here is a step-by-step guide to writing a research manuscript👇🏽🧵

1. Break the prompt into separate questions.
Don't treat the SOP prompt as one broad instruction.
Identify the specific things the admissions committee wants to understand.
For example, does it ask about your academic background, reasons for choosing the programme, relevant experience, career goals or institutional fit?
Write each requirement separately.
This gives you a clear structure for deciding what to include.
Writing personal statements, tailoring CV to different courses and writing letters of recommendations all by yourself to multiple programmes can get you crazy.

I am accepting applications from prospective students either via the 1+3.5 route (masters + PhD) or 3.5 route (PhD only) in comparative and/or environmental politics, to be funded through the North West Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (NWSSDTP) competition.
Send me a strong proposal showing:
- your command of the literature
- gaps in the literature
- potential contributions to the literature
- proposed method (causal experiment, and mixed methods preferred as these are often in short supply and encouraged by NWSSDTP)
Send me your proposal and CV.
