College of Europe - ENP scholarships for graduates coming from EU Member States

The beneficiaries of these ENP-EU scholarships will be selected by the College of Europe once the selection procedures organised at the level of a Member State, a region or the College are completed. 

Candidates applying for an ENP-EU scholarship must motivate this within their online application (max 600 words). They have to explain why they are interested in the European Neighbourhood Policy. 

The ENP-EU scholarships will be awarded according to the ranking of the candidates following the normal selection procedure and the interest they will have demonstrated for the European Neighbourhood Policy. 

Beneficiaries of these ENP-EU scholarships will have to write their Master’s thesis on a topic related to the European Neighbourhood Policy. They will also have to follow a course or seminar dealing with the European Neighbourhood Policy as part of their respective study programmes in Bruges.

The College Formula

The "College Formula" ensures that, for 10 months, students live and follow together an intensive programme in a challenging and highly stimulating educational environment – which truly prepares them to live and work in an increasingly integrated Europe. The student body – around 340 students in Bruges and up to 120 students in Natolin (Warsaw) – reflects a real diversity of culture and personal experience. 

Across both campuses, students with an average age of around 25 and originating from over 50 different countries, usually speak three to four languages. All have completed a university degree in a field appropriate for participation in the College’s postgraduate programmes, and quite a few already hold a postgraduate degree. The College's demanding entry requirements and rigorous selection procedures ensure that students who are recruited are of the highest calibre.

The College is a private university/institution and can rely on an extensive network of contacts in European institutions, national administrations, international organisations, European universities and professional circles. Alumni of the College of Europe occupy positions of responsibility in Europe and across the world. Many come back to the College to share their experiences with the students.   

Although the College has no scholarships of its own, more than 70% of all College students benefit from whole or partial scholarships, these being granted by governments or private institutions.
