Erasmus Mundus MESPOM Scholarship 2027/29 (Fully Funded)
Overview
The Erasmus Mundus MESPOM Scholarship Program is a fully funded joint master degree initiative in environmental sciences, policy, and management. This academic opportunity spans four institutions across Austria, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Greece, namely Central European University, Lund University, the University of Manchester, and the University of the Aegean.
The program structure distributes learning across multiple locations and terms. The first year takes place across the fall and winter terms at Central European University in Vienna, Austria. The second year begins with the fall term at either Lund University or the University of Manchester, followed by the spring term at the University of the Aegean on Lesvos, Greece. During the summer term, participants complete a faculty-supervised internship, and the final thesis term allows students to select any of the participating institutions based on their academic and professional goals.
