Erasmus Mundus Joint Master scholarship application

Candidates applying for an EMJM scholarship must consider that:

The scholarship can only be awarded to full-time students.
Students who have previously obtained an EMJM scholarship are not eligible for an additional one.
Beneficiaries may not combine it with another EU-funded scholarship for the same course.

Apply now

The results of your application will be published on Studenti Online and sent to your institutional email address, as from the date indicated in the “Deadlines” section. You will receive either:

Admitted: you can register for the programme.
Not admitted: you cannot register for the programme.

Admitted students will be promptly informed about the requirement to hold a valid Visa or residence permit, in accordance with the mobility plan for their assigned track, to ensure compliance with the immigration regulations of the partner countries.

Selection for the scholarship

The allocation of scholarships is based on a single ranking that involves all three tracks to enhance the merit of admitted candidates regardless of their pathway preferences.

Geographical balance is required by Erasmus Mundus rules so no more than 10% of the total number of scholarships will be awarded to candidates from the same nationality (unless they come from targeted regions).

All admitted students (EMJM scholarship-holders or not) who have accepted the place through the pre-enrolment procedure must finally matriculate at UNIBO.

Non-scholarship holders must also proceed with the payment of student participation costs upon enrolment at UNIBO. All admitted students will also register at the higher education institution corresponding to their first-semester mobility.

Steps on Studenti Online

Log on to Studenti Online (studenti.unibo.it) with SPID / CIE or credentials obtained during application.
Select “Registration”, then “Second Cycle Degree Programme” → “Greening Energy Market and Finance”.
Pay the first enrolment instalment via PagoPA (self-funded students only).
Complete identification and career activation on Studenti Online.

For Erasmus Mundus purposes, candidates are grouped into one of three categories which determine the ranking and financial support:

EU Member States (Programme Countries)
Third countries associated to the programme (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Republic of North Macedonia, Serbia, Türkiye)
Third countries not associated to the programme (Partner Countries, including NDICI-eligible countries)

Distinct ranking lists and corresponding reserve lists are produced per category, based on applicants’ cumulative score. Striving for geographical equity, scholarships are distributed across the three categories.

When can I apply for the 2027–28 intake?

Applications open on 14 October 2026 at 11:00 CET and close on 7 January 2027 at 11:00 CET. Results are published on 26 February 2027.
