Belgium VLIR Master Scholarships 2011-2012
Deadline for application: 1st of February 2011
Application and selection procedure

Applicants applying for a VLIR-UOS scholarship need to consider both the admission requirements and the scholarship criteria.

First, the host university is in charge of the academic admission of applications. Study results will be taken into consideration during the selection, but the most important academic selection criteria are relevant professional experience and prospects for applying the acquired insights after return to the developing country. The academic admission requirements are specific to every programme. Please peruse the requirements from the relevant programme.

For most, a joint selection committee of VLIR-UOS and the host university is responsible for selecting scholarships. The host university – not the applicant – forwards the scholarship applications to the VLIR-UOS secretariat if the academic admission requirements are met. The VLIR-UOS scholarship criteria relate to the qualifications required of all scholarship applicants and selection criteria evaluated by the selection committee. Download the VLIR-UOS scholarship criteria at the bottom of this page.

Applicants whose proposals are deemed academically admissible will be notified by the host university.

This is how you apply for the academic year 2011-2012

You can apply for a VLIR-UOS scholarship from the 1st of October 2010.

You must fill in the pre-screening form at the bottom of the page of the programme you want to follow. You may only choose one programme. If you apply to more than one programme your details will be entered more than once in our central database and all your applications will be inadmissible.

5.Send a printout of your application file along with all required documents (diploma transcripts, motivation, etc…) to the International Office of the host university, not to VLIR-UOS.

Spain CEMFI MA Scholarships in Economics Finance 2011-2012


Spain MA Master Scholarships in Economics Finance 2011-2012
THE MASTER IN ECONOMICS AND FINANCE AT CEMFI is a two year full-time program intended to prepare students for a wide range of careers in the public and the private sectors. It also serves as the first two years of the PhD in Economics at CEMFI. This flexibility is very attractive to many students that initially are not sure whether they would like to follow a professional or an academic track. This program is taught in English.

The Master in Economics and Finance at CEMFI is an official degree granted by Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP) according to the regulations of the Spanish Ministerio de Educación.
The distinctive feature of the program is the combination of an orientation towards applied and policy issues with a strong emphasis on analytical and quantitative approaches to these issues. This requires a solid understanding of the relevant economic, econometric, and computational techniques. The faculty teaching the courses are all active researchers at the frontier of their area of expertise. About 25 students are enrolled each year, which allows for close interaction with CEMFI’s faculty.
Each academic year is divided into three 10-week terms. Courses are concentrated in the first five terms, with three courses per term. Each course comprises three hours of lectures and one and a half hours of problem set classes per week. The sixth term is fully devoted to research work on the Master thesis that students must submit at the end of the program. In addition, a 2-week introductory course of Mathematics is taught in September of the first year.
The first two terms contain the core courses, while in the next three terms a wide range of elective courses are offered. The electives are grouped into four areas of specialization: Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, and Finance. The choice of electives does not have to be concentrated in one of these areas, so students can decide their own degree of specialization.
In the summer between the first and the second year students are offered a Summer internship at a financial institution, a consultancy firm, a public sector department, or collaborating as a research assistant for a project of a faculty member.
In addition, from the second to the fifth term there is a workshop in which students present and discuss applied economics papers and debate papers on economic policy issues. Throughout the year there is a series of invited lectures and several series of research seminars that students regularly attend.
Tuition fees
The tuition fee for the Master in Economics and Finance 2011-2013 is EUR 3,654 per year. This figure may be adjusted by a limited amount, following regulations of the Spanish education authorities.
Exemption from tuition and scholarships
CEMFI may grant students exemptions of the tuition fee and/or scholarships for living expenses amounting up to EUR 10,000 per year. Exemptions and scholarships are granted according to academic merit. Some of this support is funded by a set of sponsoring institutions. Applications for funding will not affect the student’s chances of being admitted in any way.
Applicants of the Master are encouraged to apply directly for external scholarships for graduate programs. These scholarships usually have very early application deadlines. Therefore, we highly recommend students to apply well in advance.
Some institutions awarding scholarships to Spanish and EU students are: Banco de España, Fundación la Caixa, Fundación Rafael del Pino, Generalitat de Catalunya, Gobierno Vasco, and the Spanish Ministry of Labour (Reina Sofía Scholarships).
After enrolling in the Master these students can also apply for a scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Education.
Non-EU students (including Latin American students) should consult the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affaires website for the MAEC-AECID scholarships.
Scholarships for Latin American students
In previous years, special scholarships have been available for Latin American students of the Master. Candidates who wish to apply for one of them should indicate so in their application form. In case these scholarships are endowed, however, application for them will be carried out directly with the granting institution.
Subsidized loans
The Spanish Ministry of Education subsidizes loans in a set of banking institutions, for which students of any nationality, with residence in Spain, who enrol in graduate studies may apply.
Requirements
Applicants must have finished or be about to finish an undergraduate university degree. Final admission will be subject to having obtained the degree by September 2011. A good knowledge of English is required, since the Master is taught in this language.
Application
The application form should be filled out electronically. Applicants are recommended to read carefully the guidelines before proceeding.
Once filled out, the online application form should be submitted, including files for:
* Official transcript of grades obtained in undergraduate studies.
* Official transcript of grades obtained in graduate studies (if applicable).
* Proof of knowledge of English language.
* GRE scores.
* Any other documents.
Only files in PDF format may be uploaded. Each file should not be larger than 2 Mb.
Note: Applicants admitted to the Master will be asked to provide the corresponding original documents.
English language
Applicants whose native language is not English must provide recent proof of their command of the English language. This can be achieved through the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The preferred way for receiving this information is the direct mailing by ETS. CEMFI’s institution code for direct mailing of the TOEFL score report is 7964. Alternative means of proof include the Cambridge Proficiency, Advanced or First Certificates, and the British Council IELTS.
Graduate Record Examination
Applicants are strongly encouraged to provide scores of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Test. Registration for the test may be carried out by mail or through the GRE web page (www.ets.org/gre). The preferred way for receiving this information is the direct mailing of the GRE score by ETS. CEMFI’s institution code for direct mailing is 7046. Note that providing the scores in theapplication form is not a substitute for attaching an official score report or having it sent directly. Applicants who do not provide their GRE scores will not be considered for early admission.
Reference letters
In addition, two reference letters must be received by CEMFI, written by professors who have followed closely the applicant’s studies. Upon submission of the online application, recommenders will receive an email message allowing them to submit their letters online. Applicants will receive confirmation of receipt of their reference letters.
Deadlines
These documents must reach CEMFI by 4 April 2011.
Need help? Please write to admissions@cemfi.es.
Selection process
A committee will be in charge of the admission process. The committee will take into account undergraduate grades, letters of reference, GRE results, knowledge of English, and any other information supplied by the candidate.
Applications arriving by 4 February 2011 will be considered for a first round of decisions. Further decisions may be made on a rolling basis thereafter.
Candidates within short-haul travel distance from Madrid may be asked to take an admission test on 29 April 2011 and have a personal interview on 30 April 2011. The test will be in English.
The final round of decisions will be made no later than 6 May 2011. Early application is strongly encouraged.
Application Deadline : 4 February 2011
