How the MAGMa scholarship money works
The €33,600 is a total for the whole programme, not a yearly amount. Spread over 24 months, it works out at about €1,400 (one thousand four hundred euros) a month. That’s our own calculation; the consortium sets the actual payment schedule.
Worked example
Amara holds a degree in art history and wants to start MAGMa in the next intake. She plans her budget on the last cycle’s figure of €33,600, or about €1,400 a month. Next, she sets a reminder for early December, because the last scholarship deadline fell in mid-January. Then she waits for the official page to confirm the new dates before she books any language test.
Checklist before you apply
- Read the current entry requirements on the official MAGMa page, as they can change between cycles.
- Prepare your degree transcripts and CV early.
- Budget for costs the scholarship may not cover, such as visa fees.
- Apply before the scholarship deadline, not just the course deadline.
- Finally, compare other options in our Erasmus Mundus scholarship guide and our list of fully funded masters scholarships.
Where you study and who can apply
MAGMa is run by the University of Glasgow (the coordinator) with ISCTE and the Universidade de Lisboa in Lisbon, IESA in Paris and Erasmus University Rotterdam. You need a degree in a related subject, such as art history, economics or law: a 2:1 for UK applicants, or the matching grade under your own country’s GPA rules. Non-native English speakers must take an English test, with no exceptions: IELTS 7.0 overall and at least 6.5 in each part.
Fees and deposit if you don’t win the scholarship
Self-funded students pay a £2,000 deposit; scholarship holders pay none. Glasgow’s pages give two different international fee figures for 2027-28 (£20,260, or £19,000 / €22,224 a year), so email the programme to confirm before you budget. The last application window opened on 1 October 2025, so expect the next one around October 2026. For how all Erasmus Mundus programmes work, see our Erasmus Mundus scholarship guide.
