Launch of GLOCAL Erasmus Mundus Programme
Apply by the end of January 2017 to be considered for a scholarship

The Universities of Barcelona, Glasgow, Göttingen and Erasmus Rotterdam are pleased to announce that applications to join the first cohort of students of the Global Markets, Local Creatives (GLOCAL) Erasmus Mundus Masters’ degree programme will now be received. The program was recently accredited and is funded by the European Commission.

Our new two-year Masters leverages the complementary and interdisciplinary expertise, resources and networks of the Programme’s partner universities in the fields of business, history, and economics. The program also harnesses the innovation and energies of the cities in which they are based to examine how local places and local actors generate local competitiveness under global market conditions. The degree equips students with the critical skills to make sense of the intersecting complementarity of the global and the local, which is at the heart of the programme.

The degree is ideal for students seeking careers in urban or public policy organisations, multinational corporations, international consultancies, cultural and creative industries, media or other non-profit organisations. Students will be encouraged to explore a variety of interdisciplinary and place-based perspectives on the process and experience of globalisation, in particular of cities, creative industries, development and local cultures of entrepreneurship.

There are over 20 fully-funded scholarships available to students joining the programme in the 2017/18 academic year, and applications from highly-talented eligible students from across the social sciences and the liberal arts are invited. The deadline for applications to be considered for scholarships is 31st January 2017.
