Advertisement


The Erasmus Mundus EMMIR Scholarship is a 2 year Master’s Degree program that is based on the First Semester in Germany, the Second Semester in Norway, the Third Semester is a research-based Internship and the fourth Semester is dedicated to the thesis. 

The European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations (EMMIR) is the first African-European-Asian Erasmus Mundus Master Course in migration studies and is jointly run by a consortium of three African, four European, and two Asian partner institutions, facilitated by a wider network of associate partners.

EMMIR is a unique study programme focusing on migration through an intercultural approach. It equips students with profound theoretical and methodological skills in migration studies and allows them to conduct fieldwork primarily in African, Asian and European contexts. It is designed as a multidisciplinary two-year master’s programme (120 ECTS) that addresses important contemporary issues in a still emerging field of study.

They will receive a monthly scholarship of 1400€ for 24 months plus their health insurance, university registration and student service fees will be covered.
