EU4M - Erasmus Mundus Scholarship for European and Non-European Students
EU4M
The Erasmus Mundus Master in Mechatronic and Micro-Mechatronic Systems (EU4M) is a two year, European Master program, in which three high-rated European universities participate. As a student, you will familiarize with the development and the maintenance of systems which consist of a very high level of complexity such as cars, airplanes, satellites, space laboratories, pace makers, micro-laboratories, mobile communication systems, self adaptive systems in optics, in robotics.
During your two years of studies, you will stay at two different universities in two different countries: Karlsruhe (Germany), Besançon (France) and Gijón (Spain) and/or spend parts of the study course at a non-European (associated) partner university.
The EU4M participating universities are:
- Hochschule Karlsruhe - Technik und Wirtschaft (HSKA), Germany
- École Nationale Supérieur de Méchanique et Microtechniques de Besançon (ENSMM), France
- Universidad de Oviedo in Gijon (UniOvi), Spain
During the First Year identical lessons are given at each institution to bring the students up to the same level of knowledge. The Second Year is more specialized depending on the second year institiution. The theoretical lessons are combined with practical training from industry and research centers.
Lectures are given in the local languages French, German and/or Spanish. Language learning and integration into the society is supported by our successful TandemPlusSystem, where each third country student will work together with one local/european student and his mentor, a local professor. Besides earning a world-class qualification, you’ll have the chance to learn new languages and intercultural skills.
During your thesis work you will meet and work with professionals from various backgrounds and gather knowledge on a wide range of issues involved, you will also get a comprehensive EU perspective on mechatronic related technologies. This will help you develop a coherent and integrated approach that is applicable to a more global perspective as well.
Different scholarships are available for non-European scholars and for European and non-European students. If you need more information, please feel free to contact the coordinator or directly the contact person at one of the three partner institutions.

For non-European students it is an important condition that they are not a resident of or have not spent more than 12 months during the last five years for their main activity (work, study, etc.) in any of the EU Member States or the participating countries (detailed list here).
If you are a non-European student who spent more than 12 months during the last 5 years in Europe it is possible to apply for an European scholarship.
If you are a European applicant and you obtained your last university degree in Spain, Germany or France, during your EU4M course you cannot study in the country in which you obtained your last university degree . You would have to chose the two other countries.
In every case you‘ll have to apply at the EU4M-Consortium.
The maximum number of Erasmus Mundus scholarship (Action 1, EMMC) that you are allowed to apply for is three (the total number of EMMC and EMJD applicatoins).
You can only receive one scholarship per student.
You have to hold a bachelor degree or an equivalent university degree from the subject areas mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, automotive technologies, sensor technologies or a related scientific engineering subject.
Students benefiting from an EMMC scholarship cannot benefit from another community grant while attending the EU4M course.
High language skills in two of the three languages: German, Spanish and French (not English!) at upper-intermediate level (B1) or better of the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR).
A good training profile, assessed on the basis of complete grade lists of the previous study program and professional background and evidence of above-average course credits.
For further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
