Scholarships and Funding

The Global MINDS programme is co-funded by the European Union through the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) programme.  There are two types of scholarships available for each cohort:

  • Ten full scholarships that covers the participation costs and an additional stipend throughout the duration of the programme. All students on scholarships will receive a pre-payment of €2400 in August (shortly before the beginning of their first semester, for expenses related to students’ travels etc.) , and a monthly grant of €1300 per month for 24 months.
  • Fifteen partial scholarships cover the participation costs. 

In order to be considered for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship, applicants should include a request for funding and relevant justification in their supporting statement. Please see Application Procedures & Requirements for detailed instructions on how to apply.

***Please be reminded that students who have already received an Erasmus Mundus scholarship in the past are not eligible to apply for the Erasmus Mundus scholarship for Global-MINDS. However, if you have received an Erasmus Mundus scholarship before 2021, please get in touch with us for futher information.***

The Selection Committee will decide on awarding scholarships based on the result of the evaulation of the application. Please see Student Selection for details on how applications are evaluated.

Self-financed students may be able to avail of other financial support, depending on their chosen mobility path.
