The Erasmus Mundus CYBERMACS Scholarship is one of the featured programs for the Erasmus+ project for international students to study in top universities in Europe. The Erasmus Mundus Scholarship provides full funding for all selected international students that covers tuition, accommodation, flights, visa, and a stipend of €1500 per month to cover living expenses.
Students who are awarded the CYBERMACS Scholarship receive full financial coverage, including tuition fees, travel expenses, visa costs, and a monthly stipend of €1,400 to support their living expenses for the entire two-year duration of the program. This level of financial support ensures that students can focus entirely on their studies without the burden of financial stress, making it an attractive option for those looking to specialize in cybersecurity at the highest academic level.
The CYBERMACS program is delivered in collaboration with several leading European institutions, including Kadir Has University in Turkey, SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences in Germany, and Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in North Macedonia. Students have the unique opportunity to study across these different campuses, allowing them to experience diverse cultural and academic environments while gaining insights into cybersecurity practices in different regions. This cross-border education equips students with a global perspective and hands-on experience in tackling cybersecurity issues.
In addition to financial support, the scholarship provides students with health and accident insurance coverage throughout the program, ensuring their well-being during their studies.
