YOUR SCHOLARSHIP IN EUROPE

Your Scholarship in Europe 2008-2009
An Erasmus Mundus Masters course carries between 60 and 120 ECTS credits at the
Masters level. 60 to 120 ECTS credits correspond to courses lasting from one to two
academic years. Erasmus Mundus Masters courses provide students with the possibility
of using at least two European languages spoken in the countries where the
institutions offering the Erasmus Mundus Masters courses are located. However, the
use of at least two languages does not mean the courses are taught in two different
languages. Nor are the institutions obliged to use their national languages as the language
of instruction. However, institutions should have a clearly identifi able language
policy to promote the national language. This may include language training or other
induction courses (e.g. «survival language» and cultural induction) regardless of the
language of instruction.
