Uppsala University partner in Euroculture Erasmus Mundus programme

Since 2006, Uppsala University is a Swedish partner in the Erasmus Mundus Master Programme ”Euroculture – Europe in the wider world”, a unique, interdisciplinary and inter-universitary Master of Arts programme of 120 ECTS (four semesters). It is recognised by the European Commission as an Erasmus Mundus Master of Excellence.
The MA Programme aims to prepare graduates from all over the world for professions and research areas in which knowledge of present Europe and the European Union institutions are of relevance. The focus of the programme is on cultural and social developments, the political process of European integration, values, citizenship and cultural identity. The four semester MA programme is offered by a consortium of eight European universities. These universities are also partnered with four non-European universities – one of them being University of Pune, India. The consortium coordinating university is the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and other European universities include Georg August University, Göttingen, Germany, and Jagellonian University, Krakow, Poland.

In July 2011 the programme was again selected for funding by the European commission for a period of five years (2012-2017). This means that for the Euroculture Master programme that starts in the next five years, beginning in September/October 2012, Erasmus Mundus scholarships will be offered to a number of students. The online application tool for the 2012-2014 intake is already open. First deadline is 10 December 2011. More information.
