Erasmus Mundus (EMME) Minerals and Environmental Programme: Scholarship in Europe

Overview

The EMMEP (Erasmus Mundus Minerals and Environmental Programme) is a 2 year M.Sc. program for students in Mining / Geotechnical Engineering, Mineral Processing, Recycling and related academic studies.

Partner universities

The existing MSc programmes that are taught at the six universities form the basis of this two-year master course. The diversity, as well as the complimentary nature of these existing programmes will ensure that students can specialise themselves in different subjects related to the field of Resource Engineering. None of the individual universities alone can offer the subject paths this joint master offers, which is what makes the EMMEP Master a unique one.

The EMMEP consortium consists of six partner universities:

- RWTH Aachen
- Delft University of Technology
- University of Exeter
- Helsinki University of Technology
- University of Miskolc
- Wroclaw University of Technology

All of these universities are internationally oriented and provide excellent student services regarding things such as housing, welfare, language courses and social integration. The participating universities all have noted educational experience and a proven research record in the field of EMMEP, as well as strong links with the industry.


Tuition fees & scholarships

The European Commission provides a limited number of scholarships for "third-country" graduates. Nationals and residents of EU Member States, EEA-EFTA States (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and candidate countries (Croatia, Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia and Turkey) are not eligible for these grants. Eligible students need to have a degree from an institute of higher education and should not have engaged in their main activity (studies, work etc.) for more than 12 months over the last five years in any of the Member States or other participating countries mentioned above.

For third-country (outside European Economic Area) students:

The scholarships amount to 24,000 Euro for each of the two years of the programme. A fee of 10 000 EURO per year will be charged to cover the tuition fee and general administrative costs associated with the EMMEP programme. The remaining 14,000 Euros is available to the student to cover most of the cost of living and travelling.

Please note that regarding the TOEFL test, we only accept the internet based tests.

- A limited number of students with a few years of work experience, who will benefit from the course, will be considered to participate in the EMMEP programme. It is our opinion that such students can give the programme an added practical value.
Upon receipt of the applications, the Consortium Board will select a list of suitable candidates. The selection of students is based on the above criteria, which have been set and agreed on by the partner universities.

- Students who want to apply for the Erasmus Mundus scholarship should be aware that they are not allowed to apply for more than three Erasmus Mundus programmes.
A list of third country students to be recommended for scholarships will be compiled together with a reserve list. The recommendations will be submitted to the European Commission for confirmation.
