Tuition fees and scholarships 2023-2025
“Attract, select, and fund excellence.”
The PSRS programme benefits from the financial support of the European Union and is funded through an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree programme. This support allows us to implement a very attractive scholarship strategy to attract the best students.
Participation costs and scholarship amounts differ if you’re from a “Programme country” or “Partner Country” (read below to determine if you are a Programme or a Partner country student). This distinction reflects the rationale of financial instruments of European Union external action, our main financial sponsor.
The table below shows the tuition fees, the fee waivers and scholarships that can be granted to students accepted in the PSRS master. The scholarships are not cumulative and are awarded depending on the PSRS applications ranking and according to the EACEA rules (no more than 3 EMJMD can be delivered to the students from the same country the same year and 75 % of scholarships will be earmarked for candidates from Partner countries).
All students that apply before the deadline, will be automatically considered for
all scholarships mentioned in the table below.

Will you be considered as a student from a partner or a programme country?
PROGRAMME COUNTRIES
- Member States of the European Union (EU)
Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden, United Kingdom
- Non EU Programme Countries
Republic of Macedonia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Turkey, Serbia
PARTNER COUNTRIES: all the other countries
Your nationality is not the only criteria to determine if you are from a partner or a programme country
Two additional rules apply to determine if you will be considered as from a Partner or a Programme country:
The “single nationality rule”: students with a double nationality must specify the nationality under which they submit their scholarship application. When applying to PSRS, you should choose one and only one nationality if you hold dual citizenship.
The “12 months rule”: applicants from a Partner country, but who have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in a Programme country will be considered as coming from a Programme country. The five-year reference period for this 12-month rule is calculated from the submission deadline (i.e. 6th of February 2022).
Please note that the legal basis and documentation that prevail for determining if you are from a Programme or Partner country is the English version and latest version of the
Erasmus programme guide.
