Erasmus Mundus Master Course

GLITEMA - German Literature in the European Middle Ages

The GLITEMA (German Literature in the European Middle Ages) EMMC is an integrated Master Course run by a consortium of three full partner universities (Porto, PT [co-ordinator], Bremen, Palermo), supported by a number of associated partner HEIs (Amsterdam, FU Berlin, Cairo, Greifswald, Olomouc, Ljubljana, Moscow [Lomonosov],  North Carolina,  Rio de Janeiro,  Santiago de Compostela, Vienna, Zurich).

Since most of the course will be taught in German, a good working knowledge of the language (level C.1 in Bremen and B.2 in Palermo and Porto) is a pre-requirement; tuition in this language will be offered by Palermo and Porto, while students are also expected to gain linguistic skills in Italian and/or Portuguese through intensive language training programmes.

For the academic year 2012-13, the Consortium will be able to award stipends to students from outside the EU. The stipend includes 24 monthly payments of 1.000 € for general living expenses, 16.000 € for the payment of participation costs and 8.000 € towards the payment of travel, installation and insurance costs.

Deadline for scholarship application: 31 December 2011. You can find detailed description (in both German and English) on this website: glitema.up.pt
