Erasmus Mundus PROMISE Scholarship is a fully,

funded Erasmus+ Joint Masters Programme in Sustainable Mineral and Metal Processing Engineering that is backed by the European Union. The programme is run by a group of leading universities in Europe and Latin America and provides a world, class multidisciplinary education with international mobility.

Participating Universities & Mobility Structure:               

 

Students spend semesters at various partner universities during the 2-year programme:

• University of Oulu Finland
• Montanuniversitt Leoben Austria
• University of Zagreb Croatia
• Universidad Tcnica Federico Santa Mara Chile

This global initiative allows you to live different academic cultures, business networks, and first, class research facilities.

Scholarship Benefits (Fully Funded):

 

The Erasmus Mundus PROMISE Scholarship will cover basically all of your expenses:

1. Complete exemption of tuition fees for the 2, year programme
2. A monthly stipend of 1, 400 (~living allowance) for 24 months
3. Full health & travel insurance Travel and mobility support between partner countries
4. Visa support & relocation assistance
5. The chance to study in 34 different countries Joint or multiple degrees with international recognition

Note: Accommodation, study materials, personal expenses, and some internal travel costs are not financed directly but are presumed to be covered by the scholarship allowance.

Eligibility Criteria:

The scholarship is available for students world nations including Pakistan, India, Africa, Asia, and other countries.

Academic Requirements:

To qualify you should:

Have a Bachelors degree (or its equivalent) in one of the relevant areas, for example:Mineral Processing Engineering,Metallurgical Engineering,Chemical Engineering,Materials ScienceMining or Geological Engineering,Earth or Process Engineering,Other Engineering Fields,Your Transcript of Records must have mathematics and either chemistry or physics as main subjects this is a firm technical requirement for PROMISE eligibility.

Language Requirements:           

The ESL certificate test (or equivalent) is mandatory (e.g. IELTS, TOEFL) even in the case when you studied your last degree in English.

Why PROMISE is Important\ PROMISE:

is valued as a programme for three main reasons:

1. Interactive and Industry,

Connected EducationThe curriculum is a mix of in, depth theoretical education and practical laboratory work, summer schools, research projects, and industry, oriented thesis projects. It equips students to become researchers or practitioners in mining, metals, sustainability, and process engineering sectors

.2. Global Exposure.

The students experience studying in different countries and gather benefits from different styles of teaching, academic cultures, and international networks which is a great plus in the global job market nowadays.

3. Well, Fitted to Future Requirements.

Mineral and metal processing industries are the backbone of renewable energy, electrification, and sustainable infrastructure. Workers trained in this field are gaining worldwide demand.

 

PROMISE is laid out to give students:

 

a diverse and worldwide engineering education. Each year, the specifics may change but, a typical sequence of events (just like the previous intakes) consists of:

Semester 1: University of Oulu (Finland) core and advanced modules.

Semester 2: Montanuniversitt Leoben (Austria) metallurgy and processing technologies.

Semester 3: University of Zagreb (Croatia) or Universidad Tcnica Federico Santa Mara (Chile) specialization and research focus.

Semester 4: Masters Thesis is performed in one of the consortium universities, in most cases, the thesis is connected to an industry partner.

This setup not only allows students to be challenged internationally but also to study in different locations while covering essential engineering and eco, friendly topics.
