Approximately 20 Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree scholarships are available each year.
Fees for scholarship students include an accident and health insurance satisfying the “Minimum requirements for the health and accident insurance coverage” as published by the EACEA in its guidelines for Erasmus Mundus. Self-paying students without an EMMC scholarship have the possibility to take the proposed insurance scheme if they are not already insured (approx. EUR 500/year).

4CITIES+ is a two-year, 120 ECTS Master in Urban Studies, jointly
organised by six universities in four cities: Brussels (Vrije
Universiteit Brussel, Université libre de Bruxelles), Vienna
(Universität Wien), Copenhagen (Københavns Universitet) and Madrid
(Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Universidad Complutense de Madrid). The
main objective of 4CITIES+ is to acquire a comprehensive and
comparative knowledge of European cities within different welfare state
systems in a globalising world, underpinned by the interdisciplinarity
and mix of analysis and action that is characteristic of the field of
urban studies. The multifaceted complexity of cities is difficult to
grasp, and so 4CITIES+ takes a holistic and immersive approach.
Theory
and practice are seen as mirrors, each critically reflecting the other.
The city is engaged as an evolving narrative, more dialogic than linear,
and students learn to see “The City”, to hear it, to participate in it,
and to understand it, all while experimenting with their role in
shaping it.4CITIES+ offers three study tracks. The Classical Track: this
is the track for students that want to get a broad, interdisciplinary
urban studies education in four fascinating, historical and complex
capital cities of Europe. Additional excursions to a diverse set of
cities such as Rotterdam, Antwerp, Zagreb, Belgrade, Malmö, and Zaragoza
are also organised in each semester. For students following this track,
the programme begins in Brussels in mid-September and remains there
until the end of January. After a break in February, the Vienna semester
runs from March through June. The third semester, in Copenhagen, starts
in September and ends mid-December. The final semester, in Madrid,
begins in early February and wraps up at the end of May.
Throughout the
two years, students work on their master thesis, which is due on the
first of September. Thesis defences and the graduation ceremony take
place in Brussels in late September. The Research Track: a track for
students that want to pursue a PhD and/or research career after their
Master degree, this track allows for more specialisation within one of
the subdomains of urban studies. Students also start in Brussels and
continue in Vienna, but in the second year can follow elective courses
as well as a research internship with one of our more than twenty
associated academic partners across Europe.
The Practice Track: this is
the track for students that want to gain relevant work experience during
their Masters education. Students study in Brussels and Vienna in the
first year, but in the second year can follow elective courses and do a
work placement with one of our associated professional partners anywhere
in Europe. 4CITIES+ graduates will receive either a joint degree
(Classical Track) or a multiple degree (Research and Practice Tracks).
