Fees and scholarships
Erasmus Mundus Fully Funded Scholarships
ACES-STAR scholarships are funded by the EACEA of the European Union and meet the cost of tuition fees, insurance and provide 1,400 Euros per month to successful applicants, which will contribute towards travel, relocation and daily living expenses. Please note: Fully funded Erasmus Mundus scholarships are subject to availability and WILL NOT be available for the 2026 intake for students applying from Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and the Philippines due to our allocation from the EACEA being filled for these countries. 30 Fee-waived scholarships are still available, for applicants from these countries and any other countries worldwide (see below for more details). For more information please email aces@sams.ac.uk.
Please be advised students who have already benefited from an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) scholarship are not eligible to apply for an additional scholarship.
Erasmus Mundus Fee Waiver (Partial) Scholarships
We have 30 fee-waiver Erasmus Mundus scholarships still available for the 2026 intake, in which 100% of the tuition fees is waived and full ‘Dr Walter’ insurance cover is provided for the duration of the programme, thanks to Erasmus Mundus funding.
Students will need to cover costs for day to day living, travel, visa and other costs for completing the programme.
Students who receive a partial fee-waiver scholarship can choose to defer their place for 12 months to organise their finances. However, because the programme will apply for renewed funding in 2027, any deferral from 2026 will be conditional on EMJM-ACES STAR receiving further funding.
Please be advised students who have already benefited from an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) scholarship are not eligible to apply for an additional scholarship.
