This fully funded joint master’s degree scholarship program covers tuition fees, travel costs, and a monthly allowance for 24 months while students study at top universities in Europe. The application window for the fourth cohort of the Erasmus Mundus PROMISE Scholarship has now opened, and it is accepting applications from international students.
