The Erasmus Mundus Masters program in Clinical Linguistics (EMCL) is a 24 months full-time interdisciplinary and integrated University program at European level providing training for international students in the fields of:
- Neurolinguistics
- Clinical Linguistics
- Psycholinguistics.
The aim of the EMCL program is to train highly qualified advanced students from the whole world who are excellently prepared for research work and Phd programs in the field of Clinical Linguistics.
INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
Being part of the Erasmus Mundus excellence initiative of the EU, the EMCL consortium is able to offer a limited number of scholarships to candidates (students and visiting scholars) who are admitted to the program.
The scholarships cover all living costs in the host countries. If the scholarship does not include an additional travel grant, the costs for mobility between the institutions have to be covered by this money too. Please note that a health insurance scheme for students is part of the program and covered by the participation costs.
The student scholarships are divided into the categories A and B. There is a variable number of 8-10 scholarships per academic year.
In addition to that, EMCL is also able to offer scholarships for visiting scholars. The number of scholars admitted to the program is usually four per academic year.
Students A
Category A is for non-European students. They get €24,000 for the two year program (i.e. €1,000/month) and an additional travel grant in the amount of €8,000.
Students B
Category B is for European students. They get €12,000 for the two year program (i.e. €500/month). A travel grant is not included in this category.
In order to complete your application for the program and the Erasmus Mundus scholarship, the following documents are needed (check list; you may check off the respective boxes for your own convenience):

Enclose the letters as you receive them from your referees and do not open the envelopes.

Application procedure and contact details
Please note that student applicants do not send their application documents directly to the University of Potsdam or any other university in the consortium, but to uni-assist, an agency specialised in managing applications to German universities.
Any ‘technical’ question about the application procedure itself will only be answered by uni-assist. Any other question related to the EMCL/Erasmus Mundus program itself will be answered by the coordinator in charge. This is the University of Potsdam for non-European applicants and the University of Groningen for European applicants. The addresses can be found on the EMCL homepage www.emcl-mundus.com.
Please also note that applying via uni-assist requires the payment of a non-refundable application fee. The general application fee amounts to € 55, applicants from EU countries are charged € 30 and applicants from the People’s Republic of China who have already undergone the application procedure with the Akademische Prüfstelle (APS) in Beijing are charged € 25. Please be aware that uni-assist will only start processing your application after having received the application fee!
If you apply only shortly before the deadline, we therefore strongly advise you to include a document that confirms that the payment has been carried out (e.g. an account statement, confirmation of bank transfer) or to include the credit card payment form availabe in the FAQ-section on the website of uni-assist (address see below) to speed up the processing of your application as much as possible. Late application and delayed payment of the application fee may have as a consequence that your application cannot be considered.
