Fees & EMJM scholarship
Erasmus Mundus scholarship
The SARENA programme intends to offers approximatively 21 scholarships per intake (i.e., 2024-25, 2025-26) paid by the Erasmus Mundus programme for students from Programme Countries and Partner Countries, in the form of both usual Erasmus Mundus Scholarships as well as NDICI scholarships (Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument), which are specifically aimed at helping applicants from developing countries.
- Programme Countries: Member States of the European Union (EU), Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
- Partner Countries: all other countries, which are not included in the 'Programme Countries'-category.
Scholarship eligibility criteria:
- Scholarship applicants must meet the SARENA programme eligibility criteria to be eligible for the EMJM scholarship associated to the SARENA programme.
- Scholarship applicants must not already have benefitted from an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master scholarship.
If you wish to apply for the Erasmus Mundus SARENA scholarship, please choose the right application section specifically dedicated for this purpose on our application platform. The selection process will be based on the elements provided during application, as well as include a potential interview phase -essentially on basic knowledge and motivation for the programme.
Please note that for the Erasmus Mundus scholarship selection to proceed in a fair and equal manner, the jury will have to evaluate all applications prior to confirming pre-selection for a potential short-form interview. Therefore, Erasmus Mundus SARENA scholarship applications will only receive pre-selection results after the end of the application phase.
