Europubhealth+ is a two-year, full-time multidisciplinary Master’s programme equivalent to 120 ECTS credits.
It combines academic training, international mobility, practical experience and research. Students study in at least two different European countries and receive a double Master’s degree after completing the programme.
Eight partner universities deliver the programme:
- University College Dublin, Ireland.
- EHESP School of Public Health, France.
- University of Granada and Andalusian School of Public Health, Spain.
- University of Liège, Belgium.
- Maastricht University, Netherlands.
- Jagiellonian University Medical College, Poland.
- University of Sheffield, United Kingdom.
- University of Bordeaux, France.
How the two-year programme works
First year: Public health foundation
Students can select one of four first-year study locations:
- University College Dublin, Ireland – English.
- University of Sheffield, UK – English.
- University of Granada, Spain – Spanish.
- University of Liège, Belgium – French.
During the first year, students develop core knowledge in public health, including epidemiology, biostatistics, health policy, health economics and public health management.
Second year: Specialisation
Students select a specialisation at a participating university in Poland, France, the Netherlands or Spain, depending on their first-year pathway.
The second year includes a compulsory placement and dissertation.
The programme also includes a three-week integration module in Rennes, France, at the end of each academic year.
After completing the programme, graduates receive two Master’s degrees from their selected first-year and second-year institutions, together with a Europubhealth+ certificate and diploma supplement.
What Does the Erasmus Mundus Europubhealth+ Scholarship Cover?
The Erasmus Mundus scholarship provides financial support to selected students for the duration of the programme.
Successful scholarship recipients receive:
1. Full participation fee coverage: The scholarship covers the programme participation fees. The published two-year participation fee for non-European students is €18,000.
2. Monthly living allowance: Recipients receive a monthly scholarship allowance of up to €1,400 to help with living expenses throughout their studies.
3. Health and accident insurance: Scholarship holders receive health and accident insurance in accordance with Erasmus Mundus requirements.
Important funding information: The scholarship is highly competitive, and the number of awards is limited. Although it covers programme participation fees and provides a living allowance, applicants should budget carefully for accommodation, food, international travel, local transportation and visa expenses. The programme’s participation fee does not include these costs.
The programme also advises applicants to explore alternative funding options while waiting for scholarship decisions.

FAQs
1. Is the Erasmus Mundus Europubhealth+ Scholarship fully funded?
Yes. Selected Erasmus Mundus scholarship recipients receive full programme participation fee coverage, a monthly allowance of up to €1,400 and health and accident insurance. However, the scholarship should not be confused with an award that separately pays every possible personal expense.
2. Can Nigerians apply for the Europubhealth+ Scholarship?
Yes. Nigerian citizens can apply because the programme accepts applicants from all nationalities. Nigerian applicants must meet the academic and language requirements and submit all mandatory documents before the deadline.
3. Can I apply for Europubhealth+ with a degree in Nursing or Microbiology?
Yes. The programme accepts applicants from different academic backgrounds, including nursing, medicine, pharmacy, biology, social sciences, economics and other disciplines.
You must still hold a recognised Bachelor’s degree equivalent to at least 180 ECTS credits.
4. Do I need IELTS to apply for the Europubhealth+ Scholarship?
Applicants must provide acceptable evidence of language proficiency for their chosen pathway. IELTS is one accepted option, but TOEFL, PTE Academic and Cambridge qualifications are also accepted for specified pathways.
Some applicants qualify for exemptions under the programme’s official rules. A degree taught in English in Nigeria does not automatically qualify for the listed English-test exemption.
5. How much is the Erasmus Mundus Europubhealth+ monthly stipend?
Successful scholarship recipients can receive up to €1,400 per month under the Erasmus Mundus scholarship arrangement.
