Scholarships
The EU Commission grants scholarships to highly qualified third-country graduate students and scholars. The grants are for students to follow a selected Erasmus Mundus master’s programme, and for scholars to carry out teaching and research assignments and scholarly work in the institutions participating in the programme. Students and scholars must apply to Roehampton University. The MA HRP consortia will apply to the EU Commission for scholarship funds. Scholarships are paid through the MA HRP consortia.
