Erasmus Mundus Scholarship for International Students in Germany

Erasmus Mundus EMLex in Europe is offering scholarships in the European Master in Lexicography in the 2019/20 academic session.
The Erasmus Mundus EMLex offers an excellent international programme of study which is globally unique and highly attractive due to various activities. During the two-year programme, students will spend the second semester together with all other students at one university, which changes every year. On request, it is possible to study at a third university of the EMLex consortium in the third semester. In the 1st and 4th semester studies take place at the so-called home university. Erasmus Mundus applicants have the opportunity to name their preferred choices for their home university; the selection committee distributes the applicants equally to the partner universities. Self-paying students (those who do not hold a scholarship) are guaranteed a place at their university of first choice.
The Erasmus Mundus programme is fee-based, i.e. students have to pay participation costs to the EMLex consortium for each semester. In return, the consortium pays for costs arising in the course of the studies, for example tuition and administration fees, health insurance, library fees, etc. In addition, it organizes a supporting programme. All students have to sign a Student Agreement before the beginning of their studies.
Worth of Award
The scholarship includes:
  • contribution to subsistence costs: 1,000€ per month for the entire duration of the EMLex study programme (24 months maximum)

  • for scholarship holders resident in a programme country: 1,000€ per year for travel costs
