Costs and scholarships

 

Cost of the programme

The fees are for participation cost alone. Prospective students will also need to factor in for travelling and general living expenses also.

  • Programme country students: 9,000 €

  • Partner country students: 18,000 €

The tuition fee includes full-time studies, which is normally 60 credits per academic year (30 credits per study semester). For single subject courses, the tuition fee covers the number of credits in the course.

Fee-paying students at the University of Gothenburg are automatically covered by FAS+ (i.e. no extra fee will be charged for this). FAS+ is an insurance issued under the authority of the Swedish Legal, Financial and Administrative Service Agency (Kammarkollegiet).

The tuition fee includes access to campus facilities such as libraries, computer labs and other study facilities. The tuition fee also includes student services such as study and career counselling, student health care, disability services and other study administration.


Erasmus Mundus Scholarship

The Erasmus Mundus Programme provides EU-funded scholarships for third-country students and EU/EEA students who have applied to and been accepted by the Human Rights Policy and Practice master´s course. The programme offers around 15 scholarships per year.

How to apply

If you wish to apply for the scholarship, you need to submit the scholarship application form together with your programme application on the University Admissions website. If you do not upload the scholarship application form, we will process your application as a self-funding candidate.

Any application emailed directly to teaching staff members will be disregarded.

In case you do not receive the scholarship, you can choose to be processed as a self-funding candidate in the scholarship application.


What does the scholarship cover?

The student grant covers the participation costs, a monthly allowance for living costs, and a contribution to travel and installation costs. Each grantee will receive EUR 1,000 each month for living costs during the 24-month duration of the programme. The scholarship also includes a contribution to travel and installation and any other type of costs to be paid in two instalments, as well as the Human Rights Policy and Practice participation costs including health insurance coverage for 24 months.


Eligibility criteria

  • Scholarship students must have already obtained a first higher education degree or demonstrate a recognized equivalent level of learning according to national rules and legislation in place by the application deadline. That means that scholarship applicants must hold a higher education degree by the programme admissions deadline in mid-January.

  • Students who have already obtained an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees (EMJMD) scholarship and former Erasmus Mundus Master/Doctoral Course scholarship holders are not eligible for an additional scholarship under the Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses (EMMC) action. Students benefiting from an EMJMD scholarship cannot benefit from another EU grant while pursuing their EMJMD studies.

  • The list of countries whose nationals are eligible for a scholarship is presented here. A differentiation between programme country students and partner country students is applied. No more than 25% of the total number of scholarships available will be awarded to programme country students.

  • Scholarship holders spending part of their EMJMD studies in their country of residence are not entitled to benefit from the monthly living-cost allowance for this period. The monthly living-cost allowance is not given to scholarship holders from partner countries for EMJMD periods exceeding three months (the equivalent of 15 ECTS credits) spent in any partner country.

  • Students from partner countries who have carried out their main activity (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in any of the programme countries (EU + Turkey, Macedonia, Norway, Lichtenstein, and Iceland) will be considered programme country applicants according to the 12-months rule.

  • Please note: in any given academic year, student candidates can apply for a maximum of three different joint programmes supported by the Erasmus Mundus scholarships (see the Erasmus Mundus catalogue).

  • A full and timely application is necessary to apply.
