Erasmus Mundus-EMLE Scholarships

Erasmus Mundus-EMLE Scholarships
The European Master in Law and Economics (EMLE) is offered by a consortium of seven universities: Erasmus University Rotterdam (co-ordinating institution) , University of Hamburg, University of Bologna, University of Gent, University of Aix-Marseille, Victoria University of Manchester and University of Vienna.

The EMLE has been recognized by the European Commission as an Erasmus Mundus Master Programme of "outstanding academic quality". The Erasmus Mundus label allows the EMLE programme to annually grant a substantial number of scholarships (including several full scholarships to non-European students).

This programme offers the unique opportunity for interdisciplinary studies of law and economics at two or even three European and Non-European universities. Each partner university awards a Master degree (LL.M. / M.A. / M.Sc.). The programme provides students with an advanced understanding of the economic effects of divergent laws and prepares students for a professional career, for example, in public organisations, in multinational law firms or consultancy firms. Graduates are also well prepared for doctorate research in a PhD programme such as the European Doctorate in Law and Economics.

The Erasmus Mundus Scholarships for non-Europeans aim at strengthening European co-operation and international links in higher education by enabling students and visiting scholars from around the world to engage in postgraduate study at European universities.

In the EMLE programme, this means that each year a number of non-European students will receive a grant of 24,000 € per selected student.

1. The EMLE programme has been selected by the European Commission as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Course under the Erasmus Mundus II Framework for the period 2010/2011-2013/ 2014! This implies that the EMLE programme will be able to offer Erasmus Mundus students scholarships for those academic years.

2. The EMLE consortium will change per the academic year 2010/2011: The University of Manchester will no longer participate in the EMLE programme; the Warsaw School of Economics (Warsaw, Poland) and the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (Mumbai, India) will join the Consortium and the University of Bologna will no longer participate in the third term. The EMLE website will be updated to the new situation in due time.

3. The European Commission has asked us to inform you that applicants can apply for a maximum of three Erasmus Mundus courses in the academic year 2011/2012. Applicants who apply to more than three programmes will be excluded from a scholarship!

4. Furthermore, students who have already received an Erasmus Mundus scholarship in previous years cannot apply for a subsequent Erasmus Mundus scholarship.

5. The distinction between 'European Students' and 'Third Country Students' is made in accordance with the criteria of the European Union. Third Country Students are: "Nationals coming from all countries other than the 27 EU Member States and the EEA-EFTA states (Island, Liechtenstein and Norway) who are not residents of any of the above countries, and who have not carried out their main activities (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in any of the above countries."

6. The fifteen highest ranked admitted non-European applicants who are not nominated for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship will receive a partial waiver of the tuition fee of 4,000 euro.
