Merit-based scholarships for the 4 best self-funded students

The Consortium will sponsor by own resources merit-based scholarships for the FOUR best self-funded students who have less than 5 unjustified absences during the course for each of the 2022 and 2023 cohorts (only) based on the overall semester grades, AFTER the end of the respective semester:

  • Semester 1: 2 students at UJI and 2 students at UNL;
  • Semester 2: 4 students at UM;
  • Semester 3: 4 students at UM/UJI/UNL (best student of each of the locations and the next student in the overall ranking).

Grant-holders of a full or partial scholarship are excluded from this merit-based scholarship.

Interested students and graduates are encouraged to apply for individual scholarships at national and international funding organizations, etc.

Erasmus scholarships

Students can apply for an Erasmus mobility grant (which is NOT Erasmus Mundus!) for the second semester in Münster. So students would be able to study the three-semester program with spending the first and third semester at one location, either in Spain or in Portugal, and “only” going abroad for 4 months to Germany. Erasmus mobility grants do not cover full costs, but substantially support living costs for that period.

Many other countries provide scholarships for studying abroad. Please check in your country of residence / nationality. Examples of further funding opportunities for individual scholarships are:
