The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJD) scholarship is designed to help students cover the costs of participating in the MESD Master's program. It offers financial assistance covering travel, visa, accommodation, and living expenses, allowing students to focus on their studies without financial worries.

EMJM Scholarship:

Monthly stipend of €1,400 to cover living expenses, calculated over the total duration of the 24-month program.
The scholarship covers all activities necessary to complete the program, including studies, research, internships, and thesis preparation.
Scholarships are available to students from all over the world. The MESD consortium is committed to maintaining a geographical balance*, ensuring fair representation of students from diverse nationalities.

*EMJM scholarships may be offered to students from around the world. However, consortia must ensure geographical balance, i.e., no more than 10% of the total number of scholarships awarded during the project implementation may be granted to candidates of the same nationality (this rule does not apply to additional scholarships for targeted regions of the world, if applicable)."

MESD students enjoy exclusive access to internships, company visits, and a global network of research laboratories and industry partners.
These unique opportunities not only enhance their employability, but also provide them with the skills and experience necessary to excel in the job market upon graduation.
Graduates of the MESD program enjoy a high rate of employability, supported by a strong professional network and practical learning experiences integrated into the program. 90% of graduates are employed within a year of graduation.
Most students publish their first research article during the program, accelerating their careers in academia and industry.
