9. Discussion with Erasmus Mundus alumni
How did you find out about the Erasmus Mundus programme and why did you choose to apply?
What was the application process like and what advice would you give to others applying now?
Could you tell us more about the specific course you applied for, in terms of advantages and disadvantages? We'd like to hear about both the academic side of the course and the cultural and social side.
How would you compare studying in Iran versus studying abroad?
How did studying on an Erasmus Mundus course/spending time abroad affect your future plans (if at all)?
What have you been doing since your time on the Erasmus Mundus programme and what effect has this experience had on you?
Would you recommend a period of study with the Erasmus Mundus programme to graduates now?
If you could do the programme again, what would you change and why?
