The Erasmus Mundus Master’s programme EMINENT (European Master on Embedded Intelligence Nanosystems Engineering) offers attractive scholarships for its best applicants. Four ATHENA universities — the University of Siegen, the Hellenic Mediterranean University, the University of Orléans, and VILNIUS TECH — collaborate in this joint degree programme together with NOVA University Lisbon. Students can spend their studies at up to four of these universities. The programme is now in its third application round.
Applicants to the EMINENT programme are automatically considered to receive a scholarship. The scholarships have a duration of up to two years and cover travel and living expenses through a monthly payment of 1,400€. To keep a scholarship for the entire duration of the study programme, grant holders must successfully pass the first two semester modules with an average grade of 2.7 (in the German grading system).
The application link as well as all information about the admission requirements and evaluation process are available on the EMINENT website: https://eminent-master.eu.
The application deadline is 1st March 2026 and the study programme starts in October 2026.
Students who are accepted to the programme but not awarded a scholarship are invited to join the programme at their own expense. In such cases, additional funding opportunities may be available: admitted students without an EMINENT scholarship can apply for the Erasmus+ scholarship, which may cover some expenses during the second year of studies (3rd and 4th semester). Another option is to apply for external scholarships such as those offered by the DAAD.
