Students: There are a number of opportunities for post graduate students. The Erasmus Mundus Programme (2004-2008) provides EU-funded scholarships for third country nationals participating in specific European postgraduate programmes, as well as scholarships for EU nationals studying in third countries. Also, the site of the European University Institute may be of interest.

October 2008: The European Commission has launched a new web portal called "Study in Europe" to promote the attractiveness of European Higher Education to students from other parts of the world. The portal, at www.study-in-europe.org, is part of a wide-ranging campaign to increase the number of students from outside Europe who study in the EU. "Study in Europe" provides clear and up-to-date information about the range of courses on offer in European higher education institutions, admission procedures, costs, scholarships and the higher education environment in Europe.
