About the scholarship
The Erasmus Mundus EMMIR Scholarship 2027 funds Edition 14 (2027–2029) of the European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations (EMMIR), a two-year Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s coordinated by the University of Oldenburg, Germany, with partners in Norway, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Ghana, Uganda, South Africa and India. Students begin in Oldenburg, continue in Stavanger (Norway), and complete an individual academic and internship pathway — including fieldwork options in Africa or Asia.
Scholarship holders receive €1,400 per month for 24 months, plus health insurance and university registration fees. Around 15–20 full scholarships are awarded each year. Two other routes exist: non-fee-paying places (fees waived, living costs your own) and fee-paying places (€4,500 per semester).
