The European Master in Law and Economics (EMLE) is offered by a consortium of seven universities: Erasmus University Rotterdam (co-ordinating institution), University of Hamburg, University of Bologna, University of Gent, University of Aix-Marseille, Victoria University of Manchester and University of Vienna.
The EMLE has been recognized by the European Commission as an Erasmus Mundus Master Programme of "outstanding academic quality". The Erasmus Mundus label allows the EMLE programme to annually grant a substantial number of scholarships (including several full scholarships to non-European students).
This programme offers the unique opportunity for
interdisciplinary studies of law and economics at two or even three
European and Non-European universities. Each partner university awards a
Master degree (LL.M. / M.A. / M.Sc.). The programme provides students
with an advanced understanding of the economic effects of divergent laws
and prepares students for a professional career, for example, in public
organisations, in multinational law firms or consultancy firms.
Graduates are also well prepared for doctorate research in a PhD
programme such as the European Doctorate in Law and Economics.
The Erasmus Mundus Scholarships for non-Europeans aim at
strengthening European co-operation and international links in higher
education by enabling students and visiting scholars from around the
world to engage in postgraduate study at European universities.
In the EMLE programme, this means that each year a number of
non-European students will receive a grant of 24,000 € per selected
student.
1. The EMLE programme has been selected by the European
Commission as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Course under the Erasmus
Mundus II Framework for the period 2010/2011-2013/2014! This implies
that the EMLE programme will be able to offer Erasmus Mundus students
scholarships for those academic years.
2. The EMLE consortium will change per the academic year
2010/2011: The University of Manchester will no longer participate in
the EMLE programme; the Warsaw School of Economics (Warsaw, Poland) and
the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (Mumbai, India) will
join the Consortium and the University of Bologna will no longer
participate in the third term. The EMLE website will be updated to the
new situation in due time.
3. The European Commission has asked us to inform you that
applicants can apply for a maximum of three Erasmus Mundus courses in
the academic year 2011/2012. Applicants who apply to more than three
programmes will be excluded from a scholarship!
4. Furthermore, students who have already received an Erasmus
Mundus scholarship in previous years cannot apply for a subsequent
Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
5. The distinction between ' + char(39)+ N'European Students' +
char(39)+ N' and ' + char(39)+ N'Third Country Students' + char(39)+ N'
is made in accordance with the criteria of the European Union. Third
Country Students are: "Nationals coming from all countries other than
the 27 EU Member States and the EEA-EFTA states (Island, Liechtenstein
and Norway) who are not residents of any of the above countries, and who
have not carried out their main activities (studies, work, etc.) for
more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in any of the
above countries."
6. The fifteen highest ranked admitted non-European applicants
who are not nominated for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship will receive a
partial waiver of the tuition fee of 4,000 euro.
