Erasmus Mundus Scholarships
For academic year 2008/2009 our 3
European Masters Programmes (Computational Logic, Language and Communication Technologies and Software Engineering) will offer several new
Erasmus Mundus scholarships for non European citizens (in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 more than 100 Erasmus Mundus scholarships were offered).
In addition, special scholarships are offered to students from India, China, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania, and the African, Caribbean, Pacific group of states (the so-called ACP member states).
Each scholarship for each student amounts to 21,000 € per academic year; this includes 10 monthly grants of 1,600 € and a fixed amount of 5,000 € for fees, travel expenses, relocation costs, etc; so for these Master programmes lasting two years, each student receives double this amount, i.e. 42,000 €.
