Mundus Masterplan

Document guide

Other programme-specific documents

Forms, questionnaires, videos, declarations and hard copies that only some programmes ask for.

What it is

Anything a programme requires that does not fit the standard categories. Examples from official pages:

  • Programme forms and questionnaires: EMAI's student questionnaire; IMATEC's programme Excel file, uploaded and e-mailed; ARURCOHE's application template, sent only to its application address; Mundus Journalism's "Application Reflections"; EMHRPP's separate scholarship form (without it you are treated as self-funding).
  • Videos: CLIDE's two-minute video business card; EMAI's video (listed, but not required from self-funded candidates); IPCVai's motivation video in its second round.
  • Declarations: BIOREF's declaration of honour.
  • Choices that bind you: Mundus Journalism's binding choice of second-year specialisation; JMPMB's track choice and up to three university preferences.
  • Financing evidence: CYBERSURE asks self-funded applicants to upload financing documentation via NTNU.
  • Hard copies after selection: EU4M and STEPS ask selected candidates to post hard copies; EACH asks for signed documents within three weeks of an offer; EMJM PHID asks shortlisted candidates for certified hard copies.
  • Background descriptions: InterMaths asks for a description of your undergraduate mathematics background.

Why programmes ask for it

To collect information in a structured way, to test skills directly, or to meet national enrolment rules.

Who issues it

Usually you, using the programme's form or template.

How to prepare it

  1. Read the programme's application page from top to bottom and list every item, including those that appear only in an FAQ, a manual or a PDF.
  2. Download templates as soon as they are released (IMATEC's file was announced for November 2026).
  3. Follow submission channels exactly: some items go by e-mail, not the portal.
  4. Treat binding choices seriously: read the track descriptions before choosing.

Common mistakes

  • Missing an item listed only in a PDF manual or FAQ.
  • Sending a form to the wrong address.
  • Using an outdated template.

Quality-control checklist

  • Every programme-specific item added as your own step in the programme's checklist.
  • Current template used.
  • Correct submission channel.

Lead time (planning estimate)

From one day (a declaration) to several weeks (a video or questionnaire with essays).
