Apply for admission – we welcome applications from excellent candidates all over the world
We offer an outstanding and distinctive Erasmus Mundus Joint Master experience to our graduate students. The two year full-time integrated programme’s board is looking for students who demonstrate a high degree of commitment and motivation, a strong interest and background in the GEOSPATIAL field of applications as well as in working in international environments. They should fulfill all required academic qualifications for admission with excellent academic results and can document high level competences in English language.
The November to January application period is open to candidates worldwide, offering the opportunity to apply for Erasmus+ EMJM scholarships or to join the programme on a self-funded basis. The March to May application period is specifically for European candidates, who can apply on a non-scholarship basis on a rolling admission procedure. Rolling admission procedure means that we accept applications from March until the deadline or until all study places have been allocated.
Selected candidates may be nominated either for an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship or for a participation cost fee waiver. Candidates who are self-funded will be eligible only for a participation cost fee waiver. Detailed information regarding the total number of study places and their distribution across the different funding categories is provided in the official call document.
The call is open to applicants from all over the world, including those within and outside Europe. Make sure to read the call document carefully to learn more about the eligibility criteria and available study seats in each category.
CALL OPEN: November 10, 2025 – January 18, 2026 (23:59 CET)
