EMILDAI Scholarship 2027 – European Master in Law, Data and Artificial Intelligence

Funding Details

Funding opportunities depend on the specific EMILDAI intake. For the current 2026–2028 edition, EMILDAI offers Partial Fee Waivers and EMILDAI Merit Scholarships rather than the Full Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. A Partial Fee Waiver covers second-year tuition fees, while the current EMILDAI Merit Scholarship provides €2,000 per year. Applicants for the 2027 intake should verify the final scholarship arrangements once officially announced.

Academic Requirements

Applicants must satisfy the academic entry requirements of the EMILDAI programme and possess an appropriate undergraduate degree or equivalent qualification relevant to their chosen study stream. EMILDAI welcomes candidates from interdisciplinary backgrounds, particularly law, computer science, engineering and related areas. Applicants should verify the final academic requirements applicable to their selected stream and study track for the 2027 intake.

Language Requirements

Language requirements depend on the selected EMILDAI study track. Applicants must provide evidence of the language competence required for their chosen track. Some tracks are delivered entirely in English, while other study pathways may involve French or Spanish. Applicants should verify the accepted language certificates and minimum proficiency requirements published for their chosen 2027 study track.

Age Requirements

Work Experience Requirements

Professional experience is not universally mandatory; however, relevant professional experience may strengthen an application and forms part of the current selection assessment.

Other Eligibility Notes
