CYBERUS Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Scholarship and Fee Waiver (Cybersecurity)

Université Bretagne Sud, France

Scholarship overview

CYBERUS is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in cybersecurity coordinated by Université Bretagne Sud (UBS) with the Université du Luxembourg and the Université Libre de Bruxelles, and the Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) hosting the compulsory Winter School. It is a two-year, full-time programme taught in English, with two tracks leading to double master's degrees: IoT Cybersecurity (UBS and ULB) and Software Cybersecurity (UBS and UL).

The consortium supports its best-ranked students with a scholarship of EUR 1,400 per month for the 24 months of the programme, or with a fee waiver only. Other admitted students register as self-funded students.

Recruitment is paused for 2026 and will reopen for 2027 under a different name with a slightly different academic programme.

  • University diplomas and diploma supplement, with certified translation if not in English or French.
  • Official transcripts since high school, with certified translation if needed.

How selection works

  • Applications are checked for completeness and validity.
  • Valid applications are ranked on academic or professional merit (60% of the final mark).
  • Top-ranked candidates are interviewed on motivation and ability to integrate the international programme (40% of the final mark).
  • Two main lists and two waiting lists are drawn up per track; scholarship candidates are listed first, then fee-waiver candidates. Ties favour female candidates, and geographic limits apply. Waiting-list students are offered a place with a fee waiver, not a scholarship.
