Erasmus Mundus (EMDiReB) Scholarships

Overview

The European Master of Diagnosis and Repair of Buildings (EMDiReB) is a postgraduate university programme, supported by the European Commission through the Erasmus Mundus Programme. It is a one-year-and-a-half masters course (90 ECTS in three semesters of 30 ECTS each), focused on diagnosis, repair, rehabilitation and improvement of buildings and urban spaces.

The training offered has the following objectives:

The duration of the scholarship is that of EMDIREB master course. The consortium decides who receives an Erasmus Mundus scholarship on the basis of CVs, study and academic merits, motivation, recommendations, language skills, etc. The European Commission confirms the list of the selected students and assigns the grants.

The European Commission offers 8 + 1 scholarships for Non European Students (Category A Scholarships). The total amount is 31.000 euros.
