MathMods :: Joint MSc

Last Friday (June 03, 2016) we went out on a Hamburg excursion through the new Hafen-City district. We were lucky for having chosen this day, it was a wonderful early summer day and Hamburg was shown at its best. But it was not the nice weather which made this event unique but our guests from Italy: Professor Rubino and Danilo honoured us by paying us a visit! Many thanks!
After an introduction given by our guide at the Hafen-City information centre we went out for a guided tour through the biggest inner city construction site in Europe (155 hectares) where they try to link areas of living, working, research and leisure. This ambitious project, started in 2008, is expected to be finished in 2030. The city of Hamburg as owner of the ground awards the construction site especially to companies, co-ops and principals who respect the idea of environmental sustainability. The area of the HafenCity used to be part of the old free port. Once completely developed, it will be home to about 12,000 people and the workplace of 40,000 people mostly in office complexes.
I think we gained some good impressions about the new and very modern part of Hamburg port.

It was really amazing that so many of you joined us.

Many thanks to all of you and enjoy the photos!

From the download section you can now download the 2016 selection list for the awarding of Erasmus Mundus Scholarships (Programme and Partner countries) to attend the 2016 batch of the MathMods MSc.

Selection list 2016 Date 2016-02-29 - File size 95.37 KB

• All the applicants in the main list (students being awarded an Erasmus Mundus scholarship) are going to receive an email on the next couple of days with detailed instructions on what to do to confirm their position.
• All the applicants in the reserve list (waiting list) are obviously eligible for our MSc programme. They may join our programme as self-funding students (more details will be emailed soon) and even be awarded an Erasmus Mundus scholarship if their ranking is relatively high and any of the applicants above them should reject our scholarship. Further information about this, as well as details about the possibility to benefit from reduction of the tuition fees and additional grants, will be emailed on the next days.
• If your ID number is not in the list, unfortunately this means that you are in the non-selected list. This doesn't necessarily mean that your application was not good enough (by the way, we have received around 850 applications!), but that it was given a ranking lower than the one given to other applicants before you in the list. In actual fact, the European Agency (EACEA) only allows us to have a relatively limited number of eligible students in the reserve list, mainly because of the fact that the number of scholarships is quite limited and it would be no use to have such a long waiting list.

What if I don't have my ID number?

Your ID no. can be found:

• in your online profile
• in your registration email
• in your confirmation email

If you don't even remember your login and password, visit the page of the application form. You'll find a link that says "Forgot login?"

Just a quick note to remind all our users that the deadline to apply for an EM scholarship is in 3 days, January 22! The form will actually be disabled on January 23 at 10 am (GMT +1), but we'd like to point out that, unlike in the previous editions, the deadline has been advanced by one week and there's one deadline only for both non-EU and EU applicants.

So, make sure you've uploaded all the required documentation and that your referees have submitted their online reference for you.

If you have any questions, do let us know!
