How to apply?

Admissions

The admission window for the 2025-2027 study period has been OPENED!

All applications received by February 29, 2025, are automatically considered a scholarship application. Please be aware of the fact that EMJM scholarships for the upcoming intakes of EPS students have not yet been secured, as the EPS programme is eligible to apply for these scholarships provided by the European Commission this year, with the deadline of February 2025.

The results of the application of the EPS programme will be communicated by the European Commission in June 2025, and therefore, the results of EMJM scholarships might be communicated to accepted applicants in July 2025 and the scholarships will be available only if the European Commission extends its support to the EPS programme.

The second admission window is from March 1 to April 30, 2025, and it serves for submitting applications only for self-funding. Applications submitted later than February 29 will not be included in the first round of the admission procedure, i.e., for the scholarship selection.

The Programme is open to students holding a Bachelor degree in the relevant subject area who fulfil selected criteria.
