Scholarship and fees

Erasmus Mundus Student Scholarships

Students can now apply for the Erasmus Mundus IMRCEES scholarships. We expect to be able to award up to 9 Category A and 7 Category B student scholarships.

Additional Erasmus Mundus scholarships will also be available to students from the following External Cooperation Windows countries:

1. the Western Balkans (i.e. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia, as well as Kosovo under UNSC Resolution 1244/99) and Turkey;
2. Tunisia and Egypt; and
3. the Eastern Neighbourhood Countries (i.e. Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine).

The deadline for EM student scholarship applications for the IMRCEES programme starting in September 2012 is 15 January 2012. (Note: Scholarship applications for 2012 are now closed. More scholarships will be advertised later in the year for the 2013 edition of the IMRCEES programme.)

 When applying for IMRCEES, applicants are invited to apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship (except if they have benefitted from such a scholarship before). Applicants will be informed if they are awarded a scholarship with the admission notification.

There are two different forms of scholarships, Category A and Category B. The scholarships' terms depend on the student's country of origin/residence and country in which the student has carried out his/her main academic and/or professional activity.

* Only if the student's individual mobility path includes a study period in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Canada, Georgia, Russia or Ukraine.

Category A scholarships are available for applicants who

• are neither resident in one of the 27 EU member states or in an EEA-EFTA country (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein)
• nor carried out their main academic and/or professional activity for more than 12 months in any of the EU/EEA-EFTA member states in the last five years.

Category B scholarships are available for applicants who are resident in the 27 EU member states and EEA-EFTA states (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) as well as to any students who do not fullfil the criteria for a Category A scholarship i.e nationality requirement and 12 months rule.

IMRCEES Tuition Fees

For the Erasmus Mundus cohort commencing the 2-year programme in September 2012, the following tuition fees should be paid to the Consortium:

• €4,500 per semester for Category A (non-European) students
• €2,550 per semester for Category B (European) students

Scholarship students will receive a fee waiver to cover the difference between the Erasmus Mundus scholarship contribution to tuition fees and the actual tuition fees. For Category A scholarship students, this amounts to a fee waiver of €500 per semester and Category B scholarship students will receive a fee waiver of €550 per semester.

The participation costs for both non-European and European scholarship students cover all tuition fees and health insurance; they do not include accommodation as well as other living expenses and travel. For required travel see student mobility diagram.
