Europe: Erasmus Mundus Masters Scholarship Programme in International Performance Research (MAIPR)

Overview

Funded by the European Commission, the MA in International Performance Research (MAIPR) Erasmus Mundus programme is offered by three internationally renowned academic institutions: the University of Warwick in the UK; the Universiteit van Amsterdam (the University of Amsterdam) in The Netherlands; and the Tampereen Yliopisto (the University of Tampere) in Finland, the latter in cooperation with Helsingin Yliopisto (the University of Helsinki).

Students study at two of these institutions, a home and a mobility institution. The two institutions at which you will study - and either can be your home or your mobility location - are the University of Warwick and the University of Amsterdam. You also conduct fieldwork and arts research in these countries. You will spend from the beginning of the course until the December holiday break at your home institution. You then go to your mobility institution, where you will study until the end of June. When you finish your mobility period, you will be expected to complete your studies at your home university.

In addition, all students will attend a summer school in Finland, run by the University of Tampere and will benefit from additional teaching and supervision by Finnish tutors throughout the programme.

Students successfully completing the programme will receive a double degree from the Universities of Warwick and Amsterdam. Your double degree therefore would be a combination of Warwick's MA in International Performance Research and Amsterdam's MA Theaterwetenschap.


MAIPR 2010-11 Fees and Erasmus Mundus Scholarships

Fees for MAIPR 2010-11

New Fee Structure: Under new rules from the EACEA, the fees for the 16 month course have been reduced for the 2010-11 course (beginning September 2010 through December 2011):

+ 12000 € third-country students (those not from an EU/EEA/EFTA country)
+ 6000 € EU/EEA/EFTA students

Erasmus Mundus Scholarships

Erasmus Mundus (EM) Scholarships are funded by the European Commission (EC), under the management of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). EM scholarships are awarded to the strongest applicants to the MAIPR programme itself, in accordance with the rules and regulations set by the EACEA.

EM Scholarship Competition 2010-11 Eligibility: Erasmus Mundus has two separate competitions, Group A and Group B:

Group A:
10 scholarships for eligible third-country applicants (therefore those whose nationality and place of abode are outside of the EU/EEA/EFTA area)
2 scholarships for eligible West Balkans and Turkish applicants.

Group B:
8 scholarships for eligible EU/EEA/EFTA applicants, also third-country applicants who have lived, studied and/or worked for a cumulative period of over 12 months within the EU/EEA/EFTA area.

EM Scholarship Competition Application: you do not apply separately for an EM scholarship. Recommendations are made by the MAIPR consortium and are based solely on the quality of the application to the MAIPR programme itself. See the MAIPR 2010-10 How to Apply webpage for more information.

EM scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. It is therefore important that your MAIPR application is as strong as possible as competition for the scholarships is very strong. You should also bear in mind that you may be accepted onto the MAIPR programme but not be awarded a scholarship.

It is important to bear in mind that an EM scholarship is aimed at helping towards the payment of all programme costs. Application process

The best way to apply for the MAIPR programme is to fill in an online application form via the University of Warwick, the coordinating institution for the Consortium. Please click-on the following link on-line application form to access it.

To register your application and gain access to the form, all new applicants must enter a valid email and an easily remembered password. Make sure that you choose the correct course code, P-W4PA.

If you are unable to access the on-line form, you can send in a paper application. You need to request the documentation from the University of Warwick's Student Recruitment department, via student.recruitment@warwick.ac.uk

All students must apply for the programme through the University of Warwick; you are unable to apply through the University of Amsterdam or the University of Tampere. However, while the application form is geared towards University of Warwick applicants, you are applying to all three partner institutions when you submit the form.

The application for the programme itself must have been submitted on-line or been received by the Warwick Postgraduate Admssions Office by the following dates:

For Erasmus Mundus (EM) scholarship applicants: 4TH JANUARY 2010.
For non-Erasmus Mundus scholarship applicants: 20TH MARCH 2010.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Although you may apply for the MAIPR programme at any time from early autumn until the deadline, because of the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship competition, all applications have to be considered at the same time, which will not be until late January/early February 2010. Applicants will be informed of the outcome in regards to both the MAIPR prograamme itself and the EM Scholarship Competition in mid-March 2010. It is important to bear in mind that you can be offered a place on the MAIPR programme but not an EM scholarship.

Supporting documentation: what we need from you!

You need to back-up your application with supporting documentation (see MAIPR Application Criteria: what we need from you!) This must be sent THROUGH THE MAIL to the following address:

The Postgraduate Admissions Team 2
University House
The University of Warwick
COVENTRY
CV4 8UW
England


IN ADDITION: copies of ALL your supporting documentation must have been emailed to the MAIPR Programme Administrator at the University of Warwick on or before the above two deadlines. The email address you must use is: maipr@warwick.ac.uk

Important: All official documents, such as degree certificates, translations into English of transcripts and language test results., must be originals or officially certified copies. Warwick's Postgraduate Admissions Office will not accept photocopies of documents, scanned-in attachments to emails, or emailed references. If you do not comply with these requirements, you run the risk of having your application delayed or even rejected.



Letters of Recommendation: they must EITHER be originals, therefore on official-headed paper and signed with an original signature in ink by the referee then send through the post, OR they can be submitted online. If you provide an email address for your referees, Warwick's Postgraduate Admissions will send your referees an email message, inviting them to submit their references online. This avoids references getting lost in the post.

To guarantee that your documents arrive by the above dates, we strongly recommend that you send them by courier or a trackable postal service. AVOID USING ORDINARY AIRMAIL as your documents could get lost.

NB: The Erasmus Mundus scholarship deadlines are driven by the EACEA, which has its own deadline for receipt of our recommendations.

Assessment Criteria
An admissions committee made up of staff from the three partner institutions will consider your materials using the following criteria:

+ Academic Potential 60%
+ Motivation 20%
+ Recommendations 15%
+ Language Skills
+ 5%

In addition, all Erasmus Mundus programmes are required to adhere to rulings concerning geographic distribution and gender equity. This is an EACEA directive and therefore out of the control of the University of Warwick.

For more information on general University of Warwick Admission Requirements, including language competency for the MAIPR programme, please click on the following link: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/apply/. Please note that these are generalised University of Warwick requirements, some of which may not apply to the MAIPR.

Application fee
Postgraduate Admissions levy a non-refundable application handling fee for all taught postgraduate courses, including the MAIPR. For an online application it is £20; for a paper application it is £30. YOU MUST PAY THIS FEE. If you do not, your application will not be forwarded to us and therefore it will be rejected. We therefore strongly advise that you pay the fee at the same time as your application, otherwise the Department of Theatre Studies will be unable to consider you for the course. This can be paid on-line by credit or debit card, or through the post by a Banker's Draft made out to 'The University of Warwick'.

Note: For Erasmus Mundus scholarship applicants - it is particularly important that you pay the application fee promptly. Any delay in payment could seriously affect your chance of being put forward for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.

For further advice and/or information, contact Lindzey Mullard, the MAIPR Programme Administrator, via email: maipr@warwick.ac.uk
