The Masters Programme has been re-selected within the Erasmus Mundus Programme of the European Commission for four further editions starting in 2022.

The selection is preliminary in the moment – this call for scholarship applications is under the condition that the selection of our Erasmus Mundus project will be confirmed by the European Commission, which is expected in March 2022 at latest!

The EU will grant ~ 19 Category A scholarships for Partner Countries Students and ~ 2 Category B scholarships for Programme Country Students each for the editions 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 (number of scholarships to be confirmed).

Application for scholarships: March 3, 2022
Start of the Masters programme: beginning of September, 2022

Please notice that applicants may not apply to more than three Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses in the same year. Furthermore, applicants may not have received an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM), Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD), Erasmus Mundus Master Course (EMMC) or Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate (EMJD) scholarship in the past.

Note: applicants having benefited from an Erasmus Mundus Action 2 Partnership scholarship are eligible to apply for an EMJM scholarship.

Note: Due to the Covid 19 situation, all scholarship contracts will be issued with the condition that the mobility of the students is feasible and students will physically be at the location of the foreseen host universities.

Note: In case of students with special needs, additional support on top of the regular scholarship might be possible. This will be decided on an individual basis, to be agreed by the EC Agency.

Erasmus Mundus scholarship rates

Scholarships for the three-semesters Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) are:

  • Scholarship limp sum of 1.400 €/month for 18 months;
  • Coverage of tuition fees of 1.700 € per semester;
  • Insurance package, i.e., health insurance, according to the EACEA regulations;
  • Diploma fees;
  • Lump sum travel support to GeoMundus conference (if applicable).

The scholarship is a full scholarship, meant to cover ALL costs (e.g., travelling, visa costs, accommodation, living expenses, etc.). There will be no further funding.

The study program requires that students provide appropriate laptop computers (laptop with an Intel I3 processor (or similar) with 4Gb of RAM and 200 Gb of HD.). Those students granted by the Erasmus Mundus program who do not possess an appropriate laptop must buy one from the ERASMUS scholarship before starting the study program. If necessary, UJI and UNL can facilitate the procurement.

Definitions

Programme country and partner country students means in the context of an Erasmus Mundus grant:

  • Students whose citizenship is one of the Erasmus+ Partner Countries (EU Member States and further programme countries (Republic of North Macedonia, Serbia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Turkey)) count as Partner Country students.
  • Partner Country students who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in any Programme Country are considered as Partner Country students. The five-year reference period for this 12-months rule is calculated backwards as from the submission deadline (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) of applying for an EMJM student scholarship.
  • Students whose citizenship is one of the Erasmus+ Programme Countries count as Programme Country students. Students with a Partner Country citizenship who do not fulfil the Partner Country criteria defined above (12-months rule) count as Programme Country students.
  • Students holding an Erasmus Mundus scholarship must spend their study period in at least two of the consortium partner countries. These two countries must be different from the country in which the scholarship holder has obtained his/her last university degree.
  • Students with a double nationality (of a Partner and of a Programme Country) must specify the nationality under which they submit their scholarship application.
  • A student, who has been accepted to register or is registered in an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course already is NOT eligible for a scholarship application.
  • A partner country student, who has not finished his/her first higher education degree until the application deadline, is NOT eligible for a scholarship application. A programme country student, who has fulfilled 150 credit points of a Bachelor degree will be accepted provisionally, if he/she provides the degree diploma/certificate until July 15, 2022/2023/2024/2025.

Eligibility

Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters consortia will ensure that selected students meet the definition established above. Non-compliance may lead to the cancellation of the scholarship awarded to a student.

Without prejudice to the respect of high academic standards, in order to ensure a geographical balance across students, Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters consortia shall respect the basic criterion that no more than 10 % of the selected students should come from the same country.

The basis of all scholarship contracts is the contract between the European Commission and the University of Münster. This contract is an integrated part of the grant contracts. No responsibility is taken for the correctness of the information above. The only legally binding documents are the grant contracts.
