Overview
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate Programme on “Globalisation, the EU, and Multilateralism” (EMJD-GEM) is a five year programme set up with the support of the European Commission aimed at fostering first-rate doctoral research within Europe on the common challenges facing the current global system.
The GEM PhD School was launched by a consortium of institutions which have taken the lead in the fields of International Relations, Comparative Politics, European Integration Studies, Comparative Regional Cooperation Studies (ex. Mercosur, Asean, NAFTA, etc...) and Inter-regional Research (ex. ASEM, Rio process, EU-AU, ...etc). Its’ core objective is to offer a select group of top doctoral students from across the globe - both within and beyond the European Union - the means to accomplish their doctoral research and training. With this in mind,
The GEM PhD School offers an innovative set of integrated learning tools - shared training programs, supported international mobility, international seminars and joint workshops; and provides financial assistance, as well as a stable legal and administrative framework wherein to accomplish joint international research initiatives, involving at least two partner institutions.

- Liberta Università degli Studi Sociali, Italy
Admissibility criteria
All candidates must possess a Master graduate degree or equivalent, preferably in a relevant field within the Humanties or Social Sciences. In light of the GEM PhD School’s interdisciplinary nature no specific requisites regarding the prior diploma’s field has been set. It must however be noted that “directly relevant fields” - such as International Relations; EU Studies; International Political Theory; Area Studies; Political Theory; international law; or international political economy – will have a comparative advantage. The key factor will be the relevance of the applicants’ previous studies and experience with regards to his/her research project. Nevertheless, all acknowledgeable prior diplomas must conform with the following credit requirements: all satisfactory previous diplomas must: ether be
(i) a Master programme covering 120 ECTS or equivalent; or
(ii) a Four year programme offering 300 ECTS or more of relevant courses.
A thorough proficiency in English is also necessary. English Proficiency can be attested either through a previous English-language diploma OR by way of internationally recognized proficiency tests (i.e. IELTS or TOEFL systems) which are to attest of the student’s functional language level. At the time of application Students are not yet expected to have secured the necessary scores; however they must attest on their honour what their anticipated English proficiency level is, and pledge to secure the necessary tests scores at the latest two months after receiving confirmation of their selection. The English-language requirements are set at:
- IELTS >7.0
- Paper TOEFL >620
- Computer TOEFL >260 - Internet-based TOEFL >92
Erasmus Mundus GEM Doctoral Fellowships
Fellowship Amounts
Category A and B fellowships are identical except that the first are eligible to receive a total of €7500 for travel and the latter €3000. Beside their lump travel allowance, each fellowship is made up of two more components: operational funds and salary/stipend. Operational funding aim to cover a doctoral student's tuition fees and operational costs; whereas the salary/stipend funds are provided so as to assure all EM fellows enjoy an equitable and comfortable monthly allowance.
Tuition and Participation Costs
The tuition and fee policy adopted by the GEM PhD School aims at ensuring (i) maximal transparency; (ii) optimal resource utilization; (iii) and enhanced solidarity between all GEM doctoral candidates.
All GEM EM fellows are in principle fully funded from the very start, i.e. the awarded fellowship covers all salary/stipend costs and operational costs. Accordingly, a single payment system has been set up wherein the enrolled doctoral student pays his/her annual dues to the consortium. The GEM consortium in turn acquits itself of the various costs associated with the student's enrollments (tuition fees, overheads, insurances …). In line with the full-funding principle the GEM PhD School's annual tuition fee has been set at 3600€/year.
Salary
In light of a given doctoral fellow's chosen JERP he/she will be employed for the duration of her fellowship by the associated coordinating institution - LUISS, the University of Warwick, or the ULB.
In each cases Research fellowship employment contracts or equivalents have been set up. Erasmus Mundus GEM Doctoral Fellows will thus enjoy a fund of about 100800 € over the 36 months.
