International Scholarships

Erasmus Mundus scholarships are offered for third countries selected candidates to the Agris Mundus course. For each student, the scholarship amounts 21,000 euros per academic year which covers the living costs, transportation costs and subscription fees.

Eligibility Criteria

1. to be a citizen of a third country ( all countries other than the 27 States of the European Union and the associated states [Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway]),
2. not residing in any UE Member State or participating country,
3. not having carried out his/her main activity (studies, work, etc.)
4. for more than a total of 12 months the last five years in any of the UE Member States or participating countries, at the date of the application.

Warning !
Candidates are not allowed to apply to more than 3 Erasmus Mundus master courses for the same academic year.

The Agris Mundus consortium and the European Commission select who receives an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.

The scholarship is managed by the Agris Mundus secretariat.
Beneficiaries are required to order their flight ticket by themselves, from their home country. Upon arrival in Europe, students are encouraged to open a bank account in the country where they attend the M1. They will receive a lump sum of 1500 euros to pay back the ticket and to facilitate their installation. This lump sum is a part of the scholarship, as well as the amount of the Agris Mundus fees (7500 euros per academic year). The remaining part of the scholarship will be transferred regularly on the students personal bank account.

The solicitation for the scholarship is included in the application form.

Other Scholarships
Students who are admitted but who do not benefit of an Erasmus Mundus scholarship are encouraged to look by themselves for other sources of financial support. For this purpose, the secretariat can send them an estimate of the cost of the studies.

EU Students
European Students attending the Agris Mundus course are entitled to an additional Erasmus mobility grant, even when they already received an Erasmus mobility grant during their previous studies.

As a European student, if you got your BSc. degree in one of the participating universities offering a M1 (University of Copenhagen, Wageningen University, University College Cork, University of Catania, Polytechnic University of Madrid), you are allowed to continue in the same university for the M1, and use the Erasmus mobility grant for the M2 in another Agris Mundus University, even if you had beneficiated of an Erasmus grant before.

- Not only students from one of the organizing countries, but also other European students coming to study in these countries can apply for an Erasmus mobility grant (for one year only). This grant has to be asked from the country where you start your Agris Mundus studies (M1).

The Agris Mundus is also awarded with an Erasmus Mundus "Action 3" that allows us to give grants to European students of 3100 euros to go to a third country institute for the thesis research at the end of the M2.

More grants are sometimes allocated at the regional or national levels; therefore they may vary from one training track to the other. More information may be posted on this website when it is available. You are encouraged to follow up for updated information.
