Eligibility Criteria

• Must have completed a bachelor’s degree (equivalent to 180 or 240 ECTS) before the programme starts.

• No age limit to apply.

• A good academic record is essential (typically a CGPA of 3.0+ out of 4.0 is considered competitive).

• Proficiency in English is mandatory (IELTS/TOEFL/PTE or other accepted tests, depending on the programme’s requirements).

• Students applying from Bangladesh are classified as “Partner Country” applicants (eligible for additional financial benefits).

• Applicants must not have previously received an Erasmus Mundus scholarship for another master’s programme.

Benefits

The Erasmus Mundus Scholarship covers full tuition fees and provides a generous monthly stipend of approximately €1,400 to cover living expenses.
