The Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation (EMBC) is offered by a University consortium consisting of 6 partners (more info):

Year 1 Universities: Ghent University (Belgium), University of Bremen (Germany), University of the Algarve (Portugal),
Year 2 Universities : University Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris 006 (France), University of Oviedo (Spain) and University of Klaipèda (Lithuania))

The study programme is divided in 3 thematic modules (more info):

(1) Understanding the structure and function of marine biodiversity,
(2) Toolbox for investigating marine biodiversity,
(3) Conservation and Restoration of marine biodiversity.

Student mobility is an integral part of the Master : students start in one of the three group I Universities for 2 semesters; for the third semester, students move to one of the group II Universities.

The research project for the thesis work is performed in one of the partner institutions (including institutes of the MarBEF- NoE)

EMBC application requires the following steps :

read carefully the criteria
make an EMBC personal account in the EMBC application tool
enter all required data in the EMBC application tool :
- personal data
- study overview
- language skills
- professional data
- financial information
- motivation letters
- other information
submit the EMBC application to the EMBC secretariat
send the required paper documents to the EMBC secretariat:
- a copy of your electronic application form with added date, name and signature on the last page
- a clear copy of your secondary school leaving certificate
- a clear copy of your higher education diploma(s), including all transcripts of records, duly stamped and signed by the issuing institute(s). If you have not yet completed your bachelor degree, add the transcripts of records of the years you have completed and a proof of inscription of the year you are currently finishing.

IMPORTANT REMARK: if your secondary school leaving certificate and/or higher education diploma(s) are not issued in English, French, Portugese, German, Spanish or Dutch, then they need to be translated by a certified translator and the original AND translation need to be added to your application.

- language certificate(s) as described in the application form: a TOEFL certificate, IELTS certificate or document from your higher education institute
- a copy of your international passport if you have stated your international passport number on the application form. If you do not have an international passport, add a copy of your national ID card
- two letters of recommendation in case they have not been uploaded

IMPORTANT REMARK about LEGALISATION: should you be academically admitted to the EMBC program, and wish to start in September 2012, then you need to submit a legalised copy of your secondary and higher education diploma(s) soon after the provisional admission to start enrolment procedures.
The legalised copies must bear the original seals and stamps of the Belgian diplomatic authorities (=the Belgian Embassy or the Belgian General Consulate). If no Belgian diplomatic authorities are present in your country, then the diplomatic authorities of Germany, the Portugal, Spain or France can also legalise your diploma(s) and school certificates.
Since the legalisation can take a few weeks or longer in some circumstances, we advise our applicants to start the legalisation at the time of submitting this application. Failure to provide legalised documents in time might result in the withdrawal of an offer of scholarship (if any) or impossibility to enrol in September due to lack of time for completing the administrative procedures.
