NOHA Erasmus Mundus Scholarship 2027-2029 (Fully Funded Erasmus Scholarship)
Overview
The NOHA Erasmus Mundus Scholarship 2027-2029 is offered with the support of the European Union and runs for two years across various universities in Europe. The program adopts a holistic study approach combining theoretical and analytical knowledge and skills in humanitarian action, providing specialized postgraduate education and trilingual education options in English, French, and Spanish. Scholars participate in mandatory physical mobility involving study periods across different countries, beginning with an introductory program and common courses at the home university during the first semester, followed by in-depth knowledge at a host university during the second semester, regional training or work placement in the third semester, and research and thesis completion in the fourth semester.
Who can apply
The program invites students from across the world who have interest, background knowledge, and experience in the field of humanitarian action. Candidates must have obtained at least a university first-cycle degree in a relevant field, such as medical sciences, food sciences, economics and management, engineering, law, social sciences, education sciences, or humanities. Applicants must have graduated before the application deadline and must meet the specific admission requirements of the NOHA universities. Students who have already availed an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master scholarship are not eligible to apply.
What you get
Selected students receive a scholarship amount of 1,400 euros per month for 24 months, which covers travelling, visa, installation, and subsistence costs. Scholars gain the opportunity to study at different partner universities in Europe, exchange ideas, languages, and cultures with fellow scholars, and develop professional skills and competencies.
