Tuition fees

The tuition fee for ‘European Students’ is € 4,500.
The tuition fee for ‘Third Country Students’ is € 8,500.

Successful applicants will be required to pay the first instalment of € 500 within a few weeks of receiving the admission letter. This payment is non-refundable in case you later decide not to take up your place in the programme. The remainder of the tuition fees will fall due about two months before the start of the academic year.

The tuition fees cover the provision of the teaching, as well as some EMLE-related social activities. The responsibility to meet the costs of living and travel expenses (except for travel to the Midterm Meeting) rests with the students. The costs of living vary substantially across the different locations. As a rough guide, accommodations costs are around € 350 per month in Hamburg and € 400 – € 500 in Rotterdam. The partner universities may charge small additional fees for issuing non-standard degree documents.

The Erasmus Mundus programme offers a number of scholarships to highly qualified EMLE students. Please visit our scholarship page for more information. Furthermore, the fifteen highest ranked admitted non-European applicants who are not nominated for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship will receive a partial waiver of the tuition fee of € 4,000.

Student Voices

"This LL.M. is definitely a first-class Master. Thanks to a nice, accessible and high calibre faculty coming from all over Europe and abroad, as well as very bright students fellows, the EMLE programme is though-provoking and pushes for students to continuously score off. In this respect, the programme is very challenging academically.

Last but not least, beyond a strong academic interest for this programme, this year was culturally one of the richest of my life. Indeed, I had the great opportunity to travel and study between three European countries and meet wonderful students from all over the world whith whom I built strong friendships.

Even before finishing the LL.M., I was offered the opportunity to pursue a Ph.D in European Law and Economics at the University of Paris II, an opportunity that I was happy to accept."

EUA Joint Masters Programme

This project of the European University Association analysed the possibilities of joint degree programmes in Europe as innovative examples of inter-university cooperation and as pillars of the future European higher education development. EMLE was among the eleven programmes that were selected for this pilot project.

Accreditation by NVAO and ZEvA

In August 2004, the EMLE programme in Rotterdam and Ghent was accredited by the NVAO, the Dutch Flemish Accreditation Agency. The NVAO is the official agency in the Netherlands and Flanders to certify that a programme meets the quality criteria as formulated by the Dutch and Flemish government.
