The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in AquaCulture, Environment and Society (EMJMD ACES+) is open to students who meet the following minimum conditions:
- Bachelor degree (or equivalent; second class or higher at Honours level) in one of the fields of biological or environmental sciences. An appropriate background could include; aquaculture-related studies, marine science and/or resources, aquatic biology, biology, or environmental sciences linked to the field of marine science and fisheries; and
- For non-UK students, a Secure English Language Test (i.e. IELTS) certificate (applicants must achieve an overall score of 6.5 in this test and a minimum of 6.0 in all four components).
- If English is not your first language, then you must have; a Secure English Language Test (SELT), i.e. IELTS Academic qualification. Please note, if you have taken an IELTS test on or after 6 April 2015 it will only be considered a SELT if it is was taken at an approved test centre and is an ‘IELTS test for UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) purposes’. This test will have a ‘UKVI number’ on the results certificate. The IELTS must be taken as an academic test.
They particularly welcome applications from mature students and/or those with practical working experience in the aquaculture industry.
Benefits
For students receiving an Erasmus Mundus scholarship the participation costs (tuition fees) will be transferred automatically to the EMJMD ACES+ consortium.
The living allowance component of the scholarship will be paid at the end of each month directly into your bank account. It takes a minimum of 2-3 weeks to obtain a bank account in the EU countries of the consortium. This means that students starting the programme in September will need to bring sufficient funds to live in the UK for a couple of weeks until their bank account is established.
For scholarship holders, the travel element of the funding package will be paid in two instalments, i.e. €3000 or €4000 (Category A) and €1000 (Category B) at the beginning of each academic year. European Commission rules state that these payments can only be made once students are officially enrolled in the respective university. This means that all scholarship holders must pay for their initial travel to Oban (United Kingdom) from their own resources, although please contact the Education Administrator (ACES@sams.ac.uk) if this is not possible. The travel-related element of the scholarship will be paid as soon as candidates have opened their UK bank account. Please note that this travel element of the scholarship must also pay for the travel expenses between the partner universities.
