The GLOCAL Erasmus Mundus Scholarship 2027 offers an exciting opportunity for international students to pursue a two-year international master’s degree focused on global markets, local creativity, entrepreneurship, culture, and economic development. The Global Markets, Local Creativities (GLOCAL) programme is delivered by a consortium of internationally recognised universities and combines academic study with international mobility, practical learning, and exposure to different cultural and economic environments.
The GLOCAL programme is a two-year, full-time International Master’s degree worth 120 ECTS credits. Students study at three partner universities during the programme, depending on their selected study track. The programme examines how cities, regions, entrepreneurs, businesses, policymakers, and local communities respond to global economic conditions.
For the September 2027 intake, Erasmus Mundus Scholarships are available. The programme’s current information states that scholarship applications for all tracks have a deadline of 14 January 2027 at 13:00 UK time.
Where Will Students Study?
One of the major features of the GLOCAL Erasmus Mundus programme is its international mobility. Depending on the selected track, students may study at universities in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, Japan, and Colombia.
Partner institutions include the University of Glasgow, University of Göttingen, Universitat de Barcelona, Uppsala University, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Kyoto University, and Universidad de los Andes. Students normally complete different mobility periods at three consortium universities.
Available Study Areas
GLOCAL offers study tracks covering areas related to global history, creative industries, entrepreneurship, economic development, cultural and local economies, and globalisation. All teaching is delivered in English, and students can also undertake additional language learning during the programme.
The programme is particularly relevant for students interested in careers involving international organisations, public policy, multinational companies, consulting, cultural and creative industries, entrepreneurship, and non-profit organisations.
