There is no minimum or maximum length for the motivation letter. However the average is 1 to 2 pages. The letter should be addressed to the Bioceb Consortium. You should explain why you are applying to Bioceb, how it relates to your previous studies and/or projects, how it fits in with your future career plans, etc. This is an essential part of the application file, as it allows the evaluators to get to know you better, to find out whether you have understood Bioceb and whether you know how to integrate it into your future projects.

When applying to EMJM Bioceb, candidates express their mobility choices based on their preference for one of the five study track offered, in line with their professional goals, thereby developing the skills necessary to thrive in their future careers. The EMJM Bioceb includes compulsory physical mobility for all enrolled students (EMJM scholarship-holders or not) consisting of a minimum of two study periods (1 study period = 30 ECTS) in two countries, which must be different from the country of residence of the student at enrolment stage. The number of students that can be accepted into Bioceb universities/tracks is limited due to logistical and human resource constraints. As a result, candidates may be admitted to Bioceb but not to their first choices of tracks. The Bioceb Consortium will make the final decision and will communicate the mobility assigned to each selected student in the official Bioceb admission letter.

Scan of the official degree or temporary certificates required. If you have not yet completed your BSc, please upload a document from your university stating that you are following the last year of your BSc and the expected graduation date.

Two reference letters (signed and stamped, if possible, use the Bioceb template) by two different referees (University teacher, employer, internship supervisor...). Your referees will automatically receive the reference letter template once you have completed their email addresses in the application platform. The referees have to complete the letter and upload it by themselves to the application platform. Please also inform your referees that you are requesting a letter from them, and ask them to check their spam folders.
