Application
Procedure:
If there are any
remaining places to study after the Erasmus Mundus places have been attributed,
it is possible to study EMLex without Erasmus Mundus. In order to get a study
place, students have to apply locally at one of the partner universities.
The summer semester abroad for students with a local application is funded by
the Erasmus+ programme. This means that the summer semester abroad is only
partially financed. In addition, all other advantages of the Erasmus Mundus
programme (for example exemption of local tuition fees, health insurance,
teaching materials, cultural events) are not included. In total, you can only
study at two different universities, i.e. you spend the 1st, 3rd and 4th
semester at the same university. You will not receive an Erasmus Mundus
certificate but an EMLex certificate. Universidade de Santiago de Compostela is
not part of it.
How to
Apply:

FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg: Applications for the EMLex at Erlangen university must
be submitted via the Master’ s office. Please use the online application portal
