Are you passionate about building a more inclusive society? Do you dream of studying in Europe without the burden of tuition fees?
The Master in Inclusive Education Sciences (MISEI) has officially opened its doors for the 2026 intake. As an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM), this is one of the most prestigious scholarships in the world, offering fully funded support to 20 exceptional students.
This guide covers everything you need to know about the consortium, the financial benefits, and exactly how to secure your spot in this bilingual master’s program.
What is the MISEI Program?
The Master in Inclusive Education Sciences (MISEI) is a 2-year Joint Master’s degree designed to train the next generation of experts in social and educational inclusion. Unlike a standard degree where you stay in one campus, MISEI takes you on a journey across three prestigious European universities.
The MISEI Consortium Universities:
- 🇫🇷 France: Université de Lorraine (Coordinator)
- 🇮🇹 Italy: Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore
- 🇨🇭 Switzerland: Université de Neuchâtel
Why is this program unique? It addresses the global need for inclusive education practitioners who can work with diverse learning needs, from policy-making to classroom intervention. You will gain a comparative perspective by living and studying in three different countries with distinct educational systems.
Scholarship Benefits: What is Covered?
The Erasmus Mundus scholarship is “fully funded,” meaning it is designed to cover virtually all costs associated with your studies. Successful applicants for the 2026 cohort will receive:
- Monthly Stipend: A living allowance of approximately €1,400 per month for the entire 24-month duration.
- Full Tuition Waiver: 100% of participation costs and tuition fees are covered.
