Student handbook
A Student Handbook with useful practical information will be elaborated by the GLOBE Consortium during 2024/2025 and will be at the disposal of enrolled students upon the initiation of the first edition. The handbook will include information on practical aspects for students studying at each of the four partner universities. It will cover essential topics such as visa and residence permits, travel arrangements, accommodation, administrative procedures (including enrolment, insurance, and banking), local city information, university facilities and services, introductory and other events, master project defence, and graduation.
It will also provide information on alumni relations and important contacts and links, and on the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) concept and specific details of the GLOBE programme, ensuring students have all the resources they need for a successful and enriching experience in the GLOBE programme.
Students can browse Campus Life information at the international services webpages of our Institutions: Erasmus Incoming URJC-Spain, International Incoming ULisboa-Portugal, and International Students at BU-UK. Also, all prospective students are encouraged to browse the student version of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master programme here.
Travelling and Visa information
A Student Handbook with useful practical information, including information on visa requirements and residence permits for the partner countries, will be elaborated by the Consortium during 2024/2025, and will be at the disposal of students of the first edition upon admission. Until the Student Handbook is available, prospective candidates can browse information for arriving international students – including information on visas, accommodation, and other topics of interest for incoming students – at the webpage of each participating university as follows:
Student Agreement
Upon enrollment, students will sign a Student Agreement with a representative from the Coordinator University, outlining the rights and obligations of both the student and the Consortium. The Student Agreement template, provided to selected students, will cover:
Student rights and responsibilities:
This includes administrative, financial, and academic obligations related to course attendance, participation in activities, and academic performance. It also details the consequences of failing to meet these obligations, including grounds for exclusion and the procedures for appealing such decisions.
Erasmus Mundus Consortium commitments:
These commitments include awarding and issuing the Master Degrees and Diploma Supplements to successful students, ensuring course quality, and providing support services.
Financial arrangements:
This section specifies tuition fees, payment schedules, scholarships available, and the services and facilities included.
Mutual responsibilities and third-party liabilities:
This part addresses the responsibilities and liabilities, particularly if a student withdraws or is excluded from the program.
Experiences and Testimonials
We are eager to get started with the first edition of GLOBE in 2025/2026, but due to our inability to do time travel we still don’t have experiences and testimonials of our future students and scholars. These will be added to this section of the webpage as the programme evolves.
