The first page to check is the one whose stated scope matches the exact scholarship or master’s programme—not a general funding page or a similarly named opportunity. Chevening says its timeline is specifically for applicants applying for a Chevening Scholarship, not fellowships. For a master’s programme presented through Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters, the starting point is the individual master’s own website.
How to check a conflicting window
-
Match the exact programme and type. A Chevening Scholarship timeline cannot establish a fellowship’s application window because Chevening expressly excludes fellowships from that timeline.
-
Check the page carrying programme-specific details. Erasmus+ states that each master’s website contains the course of study, the participating universities, the entry requirements and all steps of the application process. The individual master’s website is therefore the relevant place to verify those details.
-
Separate the page’s scope from the missing information. The Chevening statement establishes that its timeline is scholarship-specific. The Erasmus+ statement identifies where master-specific information is published, but the cited wording does not provide a particular deadline or a rule that automatically overrides every conflicting page.
What still requires confirmation
If both pages refer to the same exact programme, neither cited statement supplies a universal rule for deciding which date controls. The opening and closing dates, any effective date, and which version is current remain unconfirmed by these sources.
Those points must be verified in the exact programme’s own materials. If the programme-specific page still leaves two conflicting dates unresolved, further programme-specific confirmation is required rather than choosing one by assumption. A general page should not be used to supply a deadline that its cited statement does not establish.
