Erasmus+ is an EU Programme covering higher education; within Europe’s Programme Countries as well as international cooperation with Partner Countries.

Tuition fees and scholarships, including restrictions, are described here. You may also enlist on own/other financing.

MUrCS is a two-year full-time master programme, starting in mid-September in Glasgow each year.

Preliminary opening date is mid-November, and closing January 15 @ 12:00 CET. Please note these dates in your calendar!

Applications are not carried over from year to year. You must re-register and submit a fresh application each year. Please ensure you are applying for the correct session.

Please read more here.

Anyone meeting the eligibility requirements can apply. Scholarships are however targeted to a limited number of countries. Previous holders of EMJMD scholarships are not eligible for another one. You may only apply to maximum three EMJMD programmes each academic year.

We cannot accept you if you are already registered at another MSc programme. You either have to complete it before the MUrCS course start, or discontinue your present studies. Please submit certificates in any case.

If you have a certified permanent position which will grant you the two years work experience by the end of August before the course start, you may be accepted to the programme. If not, you will not be accepted under any circumstances since this is a strict partner country national requirement.

Applications are submitted through an online system which will be available at this website during the application time frame. After passing an eligibility self-check you may register your personal data. You will get your login credentials by e-mail to be able to continue entering your educational, work and language qualifications, and a personal motivation. You may work with your application step by step, save and revise it until you finally submit it before the deadline. Click here for details!

An email with a password reset link is sent to your email at registration. The link expires after only one hour, but you may request a new one at any time by entering you email address in the lower part of the Applicant Login Page. This is also the routine if you forgot your password.

If you did not get any email at registration, please check your spam folder first. If you still have problems, contact MUrCS Technical Support.

No, in the first round we only require your scanned passport.
After the Prequalification, about 40 candidates will be invited to the final selection, including an interview and submission of all certified copies of documents (in some cases also health tests). Anycase, it is a good idea to prepare for this in good time!

No, only the listed tests in the application forms are eligible.

Selected candidates (including reserves) will be notified by e-mail, and will be instructed how and when to reply. If you applied for an EMJMD Scholarship, your candidature must also be approved by EU’s EACEA authority, before which your acceptance remains preliminary. Any previous holders of EMJMD Sholarships, or those accepted to another EMJMD course, will be rejected by EACEA.

No, if you cannot accept your place, you have to submit a new application.

The course entry is in Glasgow. You will have to fill out and e-sign a GCU form, to which you append all your certified documents. The MUrCS Secretariat will then send you information about the necessary preparations, e g visa application and health control, accomodation, travel arrangements etc. The EMJMD Scholarship comprises a travel grant to cover a return ticket from your country to the UK, and a free health insurance. All participants are advised to obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before travelling to the UK.

Yes, but we will assist if necessary. You have to obtain a UK student visa for entry, then visas to Finland, Germany and Spain will be handled once you are enroled.

You have to arrange accomodation yourself. However, MUrCS will advise and inform on different opportunities at each study location.

Yes, but MUrCS is not responsible and has no possibilities of supporting visa applications, travel, housing or any other matters referring to accompanying family members.

It is strongly recommended to bring your own laptop with Office software, since common computer resources are limited. Special software (student licenses) will be offered.

All students start in Glasgow, the second semester they move to Lahti and the third semester is in Huelva. There is also a shorter study period in Germany. Finally, depending on choice of specialism (Planning/Management/Science), you select a suitable place where you have one of your supervisors (possibly at an Associate partner institute). There will be adjustements to balance the number of participants in each stream, if necessary. Graduation for all will take place in Glasgow.

We offer a range of language courses during the study period. A Finnish crash-course is included in the second semester.

Students have to physically study in at all MUrCS partner countries during the programme (see FAQ about flexibility above). However, some elective modules are offered on-line for those at other partner locations.

You are encouraged to select a topic of your own choice. It should focus on your selected study stream, but with an inter-disciplinary framework. It has to be approved by MUrCS board, which will appoint two supervisors; one primary and one assistant. You are advised to write your thesis at the primary subject institute. Our industry liaison partners may also suggest topics, possibly combined with summer internships.

MUrCS is a full-time programme, therefore it is strongly recommended not to work during semesters. There are limitations from Erasmus and UK Tier 4 visa regulations about payment and work hours. However, summer jobs and internships are encouraged, as well as summer-school activities. Limits on work volume and requirement of permits may apply in different countries.
