Erasmus Mundus

Ghent University would like to inform you about the opportunities offered to EU-students within the framework of the Erasmus Mundus Action 1.

Since 2010, EU-students can also benefit from dedicated scholarships to participate in Erasmus Mundus Master Courses or Joint Doctoral Programmes.

Currently, Ghent University and its partner universities are offering the following joint programmes:

International Master of Science in Rural Development

European Master in Law and Economics

European Master in Nuclear Fusion Science and Engineering Physics

Erasmus Mundus Action 1 Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. During their programme students are obliged to study in at least two EU-countries, different from the country where they obtained their last degree. Certain programmes also offer the possibility for short stays in non-EU-countries. Successful students are awarded a double or joint degree.

Application for enrolment and scholarships is directly through the secretariats of these programmes. The application period for next academic year lasts till January 2011. For more information on these programmes, please contact the programmes directly, through the web-links above.

Please find attached a flyer on the same topic, provided by the European Commission’s Executive Agency.

We would highly appreciate if this information could be forwarded to student advisory staff, as well as the students and/or alumni of your institution.
