Erasmus Mundus CYBERMACS Scholarship in Europe 2025

The Erasmus Mundus CYBERMACS Scholarship provides financial aid for students from around the world who are interested in studying in Europe. It is one of the featured programs for the Erasmus+ project, which aims to enable international students to study in top universities across the European continent.

This fully funded program is administered under the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Degree Program in Cybersecurity. To guarantee CyberMACS’s vision of high-quality education, three European higher educational institutions combine their complementary competencies: Kadir Has University (KHAS), SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences (SRH-Berlin), and Ss. Cyril and Methodius University-Skopje, Macedonia (UKIM/FCSE).

The Erasmus program was created in 1987 by the European Union to promote closer cooperation between universities in Europe. Over the years, the program expanded in reach, and with a broadened framework, it became known as “Erasmus+.”

International students studying postgraduate (master) degree courses in European higher institutions can apply for the Erasmus Mundus CYBERMACS Scholarship.
