Up to €1,400 a month for 24 months is the headline figure attached to the EACH joint Master's. On top of that, the scholarship covers the programme's participation costs. For a chemistry graduate, that is a rare kind of offer.
EACH stands for Excellence in Analytical Chemistry. It is a two-year, English-taught degree delivered by a consortium of European universities rather than a single campus. Students move between institutions, so you pick up different labs, teaching styles and professional networks along the way.
The catch is competition. Funding goes to top-ranked admitted students, not everyone who gets a place. The sections below explain who fits, what the money covers, and how to prepare while the 2027 details are being finalised.
About the Programme
EACH is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's, the EU-backed format in which universities from several countries design and teach one shared degree. It runs for 120 ECTS over two years and is coordinated by the University of Tartu in Estonia. Its focus is laboratory-based analytical science, including measurement, instrumentation and data interpretation.
Who Can Apply
The source lists the programme as open to all nationalities, and the requirements below don't contradict that.
- A Bachelor's degree in a relevant subject, with a solid chemistry background
- Academic grades strong enough to meet the admission threshold
- A persuasive motivation letter
- Satisfying any admission test the programme requires
- Completing the online application and uploading every document
- Reported thresholds from third-party sources: roughly 60 ECTS in chemistry or chemical engineering, 20 ECTS in maths or physics, and an average near 66%. These are not from the source listing and come from an older cycle, so verify them on the official site.
What You'll Study
- Analytical chemistry and chemical analysis
- Instrumental analysis and chemical instrumentation
- Laboratory techniques
- Measurement and data analysis
- Environmental and bioanalytical applications
- Research methods and scientific problem-solving
Financial Benefits
- A monthly allowance of €1,400 for up to 24 months, to cover living costs
- Coverage of participation costs, including tuition and insurance (the programme site cites €18,000, so reconfirm for 2027)
- Support toward travel, visa-related costs and installation
- Awarded competitively, so admission alone does not guarantee funding
Documents Required
- Bachelor's degree certificate
- Academic transcripts
- Curriculum Vitae
- Motivation letter
- Proof of English proficiency
Programme and Application Details
- Degree: Master's in Excellence in Analytical Chemistry
- Duration: Two years
- Location: Multiple European countries
- Expected admission period 1: 5 November 2026 to 5 January 2027
- Expected admission period 2: 7 January to 5 February 2027
- Important: These dates follow the source and the previous cycle. The programme had not published its 2027 window at the time of writing, so check the official site before planning around them.
A Tip for a Stronger Application
Use the motivation letter to name the analytical techniques you've actually worked with, such as chromatography, mass spectrometry or electrochemical methods. Because the selection is ranking-based, specific lab experience will set you apart more than a general statement of passion for chemistry.
How to Apply
Applications go through the programme's DreamApply portal. Follow these steps:
- Open the official EACH website and read the 2027 admission requirements once they are published.
- Check that your degree matches the required chemistry background.
