The CLMCE programme is co-funded by the European Union through the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters programme. This funding provides CLMCE with the capacity to award up to 90 scholarships over 4 editions*.

The Erasmus Mundus scholarship has a value of EUR 1,400 per month, for a total duration of 24 months (two-year programme).  

The maximum grant amount per student is 33 600 Euro (1,400 Euro x 24 months). 

The Erasmus Mundus scholarship includes: 

  • a contribution to the student participation costs (including tuition fees, full insurance coverage and any other mandatory costs related to the student's participation in the EMJM study programme 
  • a contribution to student travel and installation costs (installation costs are meant to cover additional costs such as the visa application procedure, issuing of residence permit, temporary accommodation costs etc) 

  • a monthly subsistence allowance for the entire duration of the EMJM study programme. 

Scholarship awardees are not liable for any tuition fees. The Erasmus Mundus scholarship includes:

  • a contribution to the student participation costs including all tuition fees, full insurance coverage and any other mandatory costs related to the student's participation in the EMJM study programme. 
  • an optional contribution to student travel and installation costs (this will reduce the monthly stipend amount)
  • a monthly subsistence allowance for the entire duration of the EMJM study programme

Scholarship students will have a choice of how to receive their scholarship.

OPTION 1:

Choose to receive 3 advance payments of 1000EUR to assist with visa, travel and installation costs, at specific points over the 2 years of study:

  • 1000EUR paid to their existing bank account in August before arrival in Glasgow; 
  • 1000EUR paid in May 2025 (end of Year 1);
  • 1000EUR paid in September 2025 (start of Year 2).

These payments will be deducted from the student's overall scholarship award and will result in a monthly subsistence payment of 1275EUR every month over the 2 years.

OPTION 2:

Alternatively, students can opt to take 1400EUR per month over the 2 years and no travel/installation payment.

The choice is up to the student. You will be able to indicate your preference in the Welcome Pack which will be sent out once you have accepted the scholarship.

Scholarship Distribution 

Erasmus Mundus scholarships can be offered to students from any region of the world; however, in order to ensure geographical balance, no more than 6 scholarships per nationality will be awarded over the four editions, which is 10% of the total number (60) of regular scholarships available during the project implementation (4 editions).  

In addition to the 60 ‘regular’ scholarships, we also have funding to award up to 30 additional scholarships over the four editions, which are targeted at certain regions. Note: the geographical rule of 10% stated above is not applicable to the additional, targeted scholarships. 

The targeted regions for the 30 additional scholarships, as specified by the European Commission, are: Regions 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. These scholarships are financed by the EU’s external action instruments. 

For a full list of countries in each region, see the Erasmus+ Programme Guide (pages 34-35).
