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.

Application Procedure

Students from third countries who wish to apply for the EMLE programme have to follow the procedure that is described below. If you also want to apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship, you can indicate this in the Online Application Form, there are no separate documents to fill out.

Please fill out and submit the Online Application Form.

*Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English: Grades A, B, C
*Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English: Grades A, B

g) Photocopy of passport or ID.

PhD positions in Law and Society, University of Milan, Italy

Website link:
http://www.unimi.it/cataloghi/dottorati_borse_premi/Law_and_Society2009english.rtf

The University of Milan has launched the fourth round of Renato Treves
International Research Doctorate in "Law and Society", established by
the University of Milan and relative to the University of Milan
Graduate School in Law Sciences, for the year 2009.
The research doctorate course is run in partnership with the
University of Milan-Bicocca, the University of Insubria, the
University of Bologna, the University of Urbino, the Centro nazionale
di prevenzione e difesa sociale in Milan, the University of Lund, the
Carlos III University of Madrid, the University of Antwerp, the
University of the Basque Country and the Oñati International Institute
for the Sociology of Law. An agreement between the above mentioned
Institutions has been signed for the academic years 2007/2010.
Upon this agreement the University of Milan and every above mentioned
Italian and foreign partner participate, through their specific
competences and educational structures, to set up a doctoral
international educational programme in "Law and Society".
This Doctorate course offers an international training curriculum
whose purpose is to train research doctors to be not only experts in
"contextualised" research into legal institutions, but also aware of
the ethical and political dimension of the field studied.

PhD doctorate candidates are trained both by taking part in intensive
courses, whose character is eminently that of the seminar, held at the
University of Milan and/or the other Italian and foreign universities
participating in the programme, as well as at the Centro nazionale di
prevenzione e difesa sociale in Milan, and above all by conducting
their own individual research projects, in which they are expected to
ensure the maximum degree of integration between benchmark theories
and research methods.
Held mostly in English, the doctorate course includes a six-month
period of study and research at the partner institutions or at other
related scientific institutions.
At the end of this period of study and research and once a positive
evaluation has been achieved, the PhD student will attain the
qualification of Research Doctor issued by the University of Milan, on
condition that the period of training is recognised by the foreign
partner universities, which may also recognise the same qualification,
subject at times to the candidate having completed an additional
period of study and research.
The Renato Treves International Research Doctorate in "Law and
Society" is relative to the Italian study area 11 – Law Sciences and
to the scientific-disciplinary sectors IUS/20 and SPS/12, shall last
three years and is co-ordinated by Professor Vincenzo Ferrari, Full
Professor by the Faculty of Law of the University of Milan in the
scientific-disciplinary sector IUS/20 – Philosophy of Law.
The University of Milan has launched a competition, based on
qualifications and examinations, for admission to the doctorate course.
There are four places available for admission to the doctorate course.
Two of these are accompanied by a scholarship.


Conditions of admission

The competition for admission to the International Research Doctorate
is open to Italian candidates who hold a Master degree in one of the
following Italian degree classes:
22/S Law, LMG/01 Law, 57/S Planning and management of social politics
and services, 64/S Sciences of Economy, 70/S Political sciences, 71/S
Sciences of public administrations, 89/S Sociology

or a Italian degree passed in accordance with the system that applied
prior to the entry into force of Italian Ministerial Decree N° 509,
dated 3 November 1999, in
- Law
- Political Sciences
- Sociology
- Economics.

The academic board can deliberate to admit candidates who hold a
degree in different disciplines, as long as the proposed research
programme is consistent with the doctorate study field.

EU and non EU citizens can be admitted provided that they hold an
academic qualification that has been declared to be of equivalent
value to the above mentioned Italian degrees.
Foreign candidates holding a foreign degree, which has not yet been
declared of equivalent value to the Italian degrees, may apply to the
academic board for the declaration of equivalent value (for the sole
purpose of admission to the selection procedure) when presenting their
application, with which the following must be enclosed:
- qualification translated by an official translator and certified by
an Italian diplomatic office (Embassy or Consulate) in the country
where the qualification was obtained;
- "declaration of local value" issued by the same diplomatic office.

These documents can be submitted at the moment of matriculation for
the doctorate course; in this case, admission shall be subject to the
validity of the documents in question.

Candidates who expect to be awarded the necessary qualification before
the date of the selection examination may apply for admission; in this
case, the candidate will be admitted to the course "with reserve" and
will have to provide a declaration of possession of the qualification
in question within thirty days of the date when it is awarded.
The application form is enclosed to the present announcement; it is
also available online at http://www.unimi.it/ricerca/dottorati/2326.htm .
