A two-year, 120-ECTS Erasmus Mundus Joint Master that trains you to solve environmental sustainability problems across four countries — year one at Central European University (Vienna) and the University of the Aegean (Lesvos, Greece), year two at Lund University (Sweden) or the University of Manchester (UK), with a summer internship and thesis at any consortium partner. Erasmus Mundus scholars get €1,400 a month for two years plus all participation costs and insurance.
Why it is notable: the deadline you need depends on your funding route AND your visa situation — financial-aid and visa-sensitive-country applicants share the early 7 January 2027 deadline, and missing it means no scholarship consideration at all. Over 630 MESPOM students from 70+ countries have graduated since 2005.
