Scholarships for the Master’s Degree in Social Sciences

The Carlos III University offers five full two-year scholarships for the Master in Social Sciences. Four of these scholarships are financed by the Department of Social Sciences and one, the Juan March Servera scholarship, is offered by the Carlos III-Juan March Institute.

These scholarships are open to any student (Spanish or foreign) with excellent academic performance, a high level of English and a strong motivation for study and research in the social sciences.

In addition, the IC3JM offers three tuition grants for the two years of the Master’s program, with an amount equivalent to the cost of tuition for a student from the European Union (approximately 2,900 euros). It is not necessary to be a citizen of an EU country to apply.

The scholarships corresponding to the second year may be suspended if the student does not pass one or more courses during the first year of the Master’s program. This condition applies to both full scholarships and tuition grants.

More information on all scholarships and grants can be found at the scholarships’ website
