• The application deadline and financial confirmation for self-payers in case a visa is needed is 30 April 2025.

• The application deadline and financial confirmation for self-payers in case no visa is needed is 31 July 2025.

Maximum number of admitted students

A number of around 15 Erasmus Mundus scholarships will be offered for the year 2025-2027. Besides this there are about 10 places available for non-Erasmus Mundus scholarship holders, which include scholarships with reduced tuition fee. If you are interested in attending the programme with these or other financial means, be sure to apply in time. The places will be offered to the first candidates from whom we receive financial confirmation.

​

Outcome of application for admission

If you have indicated in your application form that you wish to be considered for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship, you will be informed about the outcome of your application for admission and scholarship in April 2025. Before you will not receive a reply to your application for admission and scholarship. In case you are not selected for a scholarship, you may still attend the programme if you are able and willing to cover the cost via other means.

 

The final awarding of the scholarship will depend upon the approval of the European Commission. 

​

If you have indicated in your application that you will cover the cost of the programme by other means, you will be informed about the outcome within 4 weeks after you have submitted your application.
