Quota: Not specified

There are 2 categories of scholarships: Partner Country scholarships and Programme Country scholarships.

Partner Country scholarships provide up to € 8,000 per year per scholarship holder from a Partner Country. This includes € 2,000 per year for travel costs + € 1,000 for installation costs for scholars who are resident of a Partner Country situated less than 4,000 km from the EMJMD coordinating institution (i.e. UHI-SAMS). For those located 4,000 km or more from the EMJMD coordinating institution (i.e., UHI-SAMS), a provision of € 3,000 per year for travel costs + € 1,000 for installation costs will be awarded. In addition, a monthly allowance as contribution to subsistence of € 1,000 per month will be given for the entire duration of the EMJMD study programme (i.e. 24 months). A minimum of 75% of the scholarships are awarded to candidates from Partner countries.

Programme Country scholarships provide up to € 4,000 per year per scholarship holder from a Programme Country. This includes € 1,000 per year per scholar for travel and installation costs. In addition, a monthly allowance as contribution to subsistence of € 1,000 per month will be given for the entire duration of the EMJMD study programme (i.e. 24 months).

For both Partner Country and Programme Country Scholarships, the monthly contribution to subsistence will not be given to scholars for the EMJMD periods (study/research/placement/thesis preparation) spent in their country of residence. The monthly subsistence will also not be given to scholars from a Partner country for the EMJMD periods exceeding 1 trimester (i.e. 3 months or the equivalent of 15 ECTS credits) spent in any Partner country.

Contribution to subsistence costs will not be given to scholarship holders for the EMJMD periods (study/research/placement/thesis preparation) spent in their country of residence, nor to scholarship holders from a Partner country for the EMJMD periods exceeding one trimester (i.e. 3 months or the equivalent of 15 ECTS credits) spent in any Partner country.

Eligible applicants for Partner Country scholarships are students who are not nationals of an EU country, Iceland, Norway, Lichtenstein, Turkey or the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). In addition, they cannot be residents of these countries nor have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last 5 years in any of these countries. The 5 year reference period for this 12-month rule is calculated backwards as from the submission deadline (defined by the consortia) of applying for an EMJMD student scholarship.

Eligible applicants for Programme Country scholarships are all other students who do not meet the criteria for Partner Country scholarships (this includes all nationals of the European Union, Iceland, Norway, Lichtenstein, Turkey and FYROM, as well as, people who have spent more than a total of 12 months in the EU over the last 5 years).

Applicants for the EMJMD ACES/ACES+ must possess a Bachelors degree (or equivalent; second class or higher at Honours level) in 1 of the fields of environmental or social sciences, which could be: Aquaculture-related studies, Marine Science, Aquatic Biology, Biology, Environmental Sciences or Marine Resources, Environmental Economics and Environmental Policy. They must have English competence equivalent to 6.5 Academic IELTS (with a minimum of 6.0 in all 4 components). Mature students and those with practical working experience in the aquaculture industry, are particularly welcomed.

To apply for a place on our next intake (2021-2023) you will need to complete in full two application forms – a University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) and ACES application form. Once you have completed the forms, please email these, along with all supporting documents, as a single PDF file to Helen Bury at ACES[at]sams.ac.uk by 15 February.
