Degree-seeking mobility <\/strong>– mobility for a complete course of an academic programme, leading to the award of a degree by the host university after the successful completion of the study period.<\/p>

Minimum Requirement for Application:<\/strong><\/p>

Masters\u2019 degree programs: Second Class Upper (3.5 CGPA or it’s equivalent) in the relevant fields of study from any recognized University in Africa.<\/p>

PhD degree programs: Bachelor\u2019s and Masters\u2019 Degrees from any recognized University in Africa. Candidates must have a minimum CGPA of 4.0 on a 5.0 scale or its equivalent in M.Sc.\/M.Eng.\/M.Tech. and a minimum CGPA of 3.5 (second class upper) in the Bachelor\u2019s degree.<\/p>

Scholarship Benefits<\/strong><\/p>

Masters students get 600\u20ac monthly, and Ph.D. students get a 900\u20ac monthly allowance. Additional allowance for female holders 600\u20ac for Masters and 900\u20ac for PHD.. All tuition, Insurance, travel and VISA costs are paid for.<\/p>

Please note the following:<\/p>

\u00b7 Students cannot apply for ASIM scholarships to study in their country of origin.<\/p>

\u00b7 Students should simultaneously apply for the ASIM scholarship and the university of their choice.<\/p>

Credit<\/strong>–<\/strong>see<\/strong>king mobility <\/strong>– short-term mobility leading to the recognition by the home university of the study period spent at the host university: i.e. the educational components taken abroad by the student are recognized upon return as integrated part of the degree programme at the home institution (either the credits awarded by the host institution are recognized and transcribed by the home institution or the home institution recognizes the learning outcomes achieved by the student as compatible for the award of the home degree).<\/p>

Academic <\/strong>and Administrative <\/strong>Staff <\/strong>mobility<\/strong><\/p>

The ASIM staff mobility programme focuses on capacity development and short-term mobility flows of 1 to 3 months.<\/p>

The project has two staff mobility pathways:<\/b><\/p>

  • The ASIM staff mobility programme focuses on capacity development and short-term mobility flows of 1 month. The project has two staff mobility pathways: Research leave programme: this will enable staff to visit another institution to develop specific research skills. All applicants will be required to provide a proposal that defines the research activities, its fit with the thematic areas of ASIM, benefits to the recipient and the sending institution, and a long-term plan. Academic programme management programme: staff mobility flows under this pathway will be ring-fenced to academic staff involved in managing postgraduate provisions designed to share best practices and enhance the postgraduate provision in their institution. Staff will be required to submit a proposal that demonstrates the value of their mobility to the recipient and the sending institution.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    This is a competitive scheme that demands that applicants submit detailed proposals of how they will use their time and the outputs they will produce. The criteria against which applications will be judged are:<\/p><\/li>

  • A close alignment with the ASIM\u2019s objectives.<\/p><\/li>

  • A realistic assessment of what the applicant can achieve within the proposed timeframe.<\/p>

    The proposals must have outputs that are commensurate with ASIM\u2019s ambitions for research focusing on sustainable infrastructure delivery in Africa.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    What the mobility offers:<\/b><\/p>

    \u00b7 Travel costs<\/p>

    \u00b7 Subsistence of EU1200 per month<\/p>

    \u00b7 Insurance cover<\/p>

    \u00b7 In addition, the host institution will support the scholars with working space.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Eligibility Criteria for Staff mobility<\/b><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    To be eligible applicants must:<\/b><\/p>

    \u00b7 Be nationals of a member state of the African Union and be resident in Africa.<\/p>

    \u00b7 Currently hold a permanent position at one of the participating universities.<\/p>

    \u00b7 Have not benefited in the past from an Intra-Africa scholarship for the same type of mobility.<\/p>

    \u00b7 Academic and administrative staff can only benefit from one scholarship within the same project under the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme regardless of the type of mobility or the funding project.<\/p>

    \u00b7 Have completed a PhD relevant to this application.<\/p>

    \u00b7 Have proven research experience in their field related to sustainable infrastructure.<\/p>

    7) Have the support (including a brief supporting statement) from their institutions.<\/p>

    8) Have discussed and agreed to the proposed research program with an academic (collaborator) at the host institution.<\/p><\/li>

  • Proposals should consider the impact of the research activities being planned and outline plans to maximise that impact. In order to maximise the value of the research leave, scholars are expected to have done a proportion of the background work to their project prior to commencing their research leave. The proposed project programme should show this activity.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    Credit Seeking Mobility:<\/b><\/p>

    The ASIM credit-seeking mobility program focuses on capacity development and short-term mobility flows of 6 months. The call is based on the urgent need to increase the talent pool of expertise in infrastructure and to develop the capacity of African Higher Education Institutions (HEI) to deliver sustainable infrastructure education. The Intra-Africa Academic<\/p>

    Mobility Scheme supports higher education cooperation between African countries and aims to promote sustainable development by increasing the availability of trained and qualified high-level professional manpower in Africa.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Eligibility Criteria for Credit seeking mobility:<\/p>

    \u2022 Should be registered in one of the four partner Universities: Covenant University, ARDHI University, University of Malawi and the University of Johannesburg.<\/p>

    \u2022 Should be in the stage of doing research<\/p>

    \u2022 Research area must be in Sustainable Infrastructure<\/p>

    \u2022 Should not be beneficiary of any other funding<\/p>
