SCHOLARSHIPS AND FUNDING

ERASMUS MUNDUS SCHOLARSHIPS

The RePIC Consortium has successfully applied for funding from the European Commission to provide Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) scholarships. EMJM scholarships will be awarded to the best applicants worldwide, in accordance with the eligibility and selection criteria and procedures established by the Consortium, as well as the specific criteria and procedures stipulated by the European Commission.

How Will Scholarships Be Awarded?

Recipients of EMJM scholarships will be selected based on the RePIC evaluation grid, respecting the required maximum numbers per nationality (with no more than 10 % of EMJM scholarships per country). There will be no other application portal for scholarships, and applicants need to apply for the RePIC programme by February 28, 2026, to be considered for the EMJM scholarships.

What Will Scholarships Cover?

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Scholarship for RePIC covers the following:

  1. A monthly allowance of €1400 to cover travel, visa, installation and subsistence costs (for a maximum of 24 months)
  2. A full tuition fee waiver (€2,250 for EU-EFTA citizens or €4,500 for non-EU/EFTA citizens per semester for a maximum of 4 semesters)
  3. Health and accident insurance in line with the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) requirements

Country-specific scholarships and funding options

Apart from using your savings or a sponsor’s support (employer, sponsorship organizations, GoFundMe campaigns), there are other ways to finance your studies in the RePIC programme. Applying for a scholarship, grant or educational loan that you are eligible for in your own country of citizenship or residence are possible ways too. Below is a list of possible scholarship or educational loan information resources. Please note that those who have already benefitted from an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) scholarship are not eligible to apply for an additional scholarship:

• Students from Europe can use the European Funding Guide to search for financial support for studies in one of the EU-member states

• Students from outside of Europe can use the International Financial Aid and College Scholarship Search online database that lists scholarships, grants, international student loan programmes and other information to promote study abroad

• Canadian loan schemes: we may accept students with Canadian loan schemes. For more information please contact applyrepic@ruhr-uni-bochum.de

• US student finance: we may accept students with US federal loan programmes. For more information please contact applyrepic@ruhr-uni-bochum.de

APPEAL PROCEDURE

Applicants whose application has been rejected for RePIC admission or EMJM-scholarship and who believe that the application procedure has not been correctly followed may appeal within one week after the date of notification. The RePIC Admission and Examination Committee will then process this appeal to reach a final decision. Please fill out this PDF appeal form accordingly and send it to: appealrepic@ruhr-uni-bochum.de.

SPECIAL NEEDS GUIDANCE

RePIC strives to facilitate equal-opportunity access to education: students with disabilities or chronic diseases that impair their access to higher education are eligible for access arrangements (“Nachteilsausgleiche”) – when they get admitted to university, for individual exams or lecture, and in some cases for the duration of the entire degree programme (if, for example, their health impairment means that it will take them longer to complete their degree). Thus, we do not only comply with legal requirements, but we also work towards the common goal of establishing inclusive higher education in accordance with the notion of universitas. We would like to encourage and invite you to get advice – it is fully confidential and might help you assess to what extent and in what way your academic career may benefit from access arrangements.

Advice

The Service Centre for Disabled Students (BZI) at the academic services office Akademisches Förderungswerk provides professional and individual advice to RUB students with health impairments regarding university admissions, degree programmes and access arrangements. The service centre, moreover, houses wheelchair-accessible workstations and technical aids. These workstations are monitored by IT.Services, which also implement access arrangements for exams. Additional information at the BZI homepage.

Funding

All students enrolled in RePIC (with or without a scholarship), regardless of their scholarship status, who have disabilities such as long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments certified by a competent national authority, may apply for financial assistance to acquire special equipment or services, third-party assistance, adaptation of their working environment and additional travel or transportation costs.
