About the Scholarship/Programme

The Global Markets, Local Creativities (GLOCAL) programme is a two-year Erasmus Mundus Joint Master designed to examine the relationship between global markets and local economic, social, cultural and creative development.

The programme is delivered by a consortium of seven internationally recognised universities and allows students to study across multiple partner institutions depending on their selected study track. The programme combines international business, global economic history, public policy, entrepreneurship, cultural studies and related fields.

For the 2027–2029 edition, the programme begins in September 2027 and carries 120 ECTS credits. Depending on the chosen pathway, graduates receive a joint or multiple degree award, including an International Master, Master of Arts, Master of Social Science or Postgraduate Certificate.

Students are permitted to apply for only one GLOCAL study track. The 2027–2029 programme currently offers eight tracks, with Track H not open for applications for this intake.

Scholarship Benefits

The Erasmus Mundus Scholarship provides substantial financial support for successful applicants.

According to the official GLOCAL scholarship information, the award includes:

• Full coverage of tuition fees, meaning scholarship recipients are not liable for tuition fees.
• Full insurance coverage for the programme.
• A contribution towards student travel and installation costs, including practical expenses such as visas, residence permits and temporary accommodation.
• A monthly subsistence allowance throughout the two-year programme.
• Scholarship recipients can choose between two payment arrangements. One option provides three €1,000 advance payments towards travel, visa and installation costs, followed by €1,275 per month. The second option provides €1,400 per month for the two years without the separate travel/installation payments.

The programme also has additional EU funding for eligible students with individual needs, subject to the programme’s requirements and assessment.

For certain tracks involving the University of Göttingen, additional academic background requirements apply, so applicants should carefully review the requirements for their chosen track before applying.

Step-by-Step Application Process

Step 1: Review the GLOCAL programme and study tracks on the official website.

Step 2: Confirm that your academic background meets the entry requirements for your chosen track. Applicants can apply to only one track.

Step 3: Prepare the required supporting documents, including your academic records, degree documentation, references, proof of English-language proficiency and passport information, as applicable.

Step 4: Apply for admission through the University of Glasgow online application portal.

Step 5: For the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship, complete and submit the required scholarship application form as part of the application process. The official guidance states that applicants should indicate the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship in the funding section.

Step 6: Ensure that all required documents have been submitted by the scholarship deadline. Applicants whose application remains on hold for missing documents at the scholarship deadline will not be considered for the scholarship, except where the programme specifically allows an outstanding final degree certificate for applicants still completing their bachelor’s degree.

Step 7: Wait for the scholarship selection process. Eligible applications are reviewed and ranked by the GLOCAL Consortium. Scholarship results for the 2027 intake are expected in April 2027.

Final Note from AK Travels LTD

The GLOCAL Erasmus Mundus Scholarship is a competitive international master’s opportunity, and meeting the minimum entry requirements does not guarantee a scholarship. Applicants should carefully select one study track, prepare all required documents and submit a complete application before the official deadline.

Always verify the latest application instructions directly on the official GLOCAL website before submitting your application.
