Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the University of Porto we would
like to kindly ask you to please disseminate
this Erasmus Mundus Master among all interested students
ERASMUS MUNDUS STIPENDS: GLITEMA
German Literature in the European Middle Ages
The GLITEMA (German Literature in the European
Middle Ages) EMMC is an integrated master course
run by a consortium of three full partner
universities (Porto, PT [co-ordinator]; Bremen,
DE; Palermo, IT), supported by twelve associated
partner HEIs (Amsterdam, NL; Berlin [FU], DE;
Cairo, EG; Greifswald, DE; Olomouc, CZ;
Ljubljana, SI; Moscow [Lomonosov], RU; North
Carolina, US; Rio de Janeiro, BR; Santiago, ES; Vienna, AT; Zurich, CH).
The basic premise for the GLITEMA EMMC is the
understanding that medieval culture, in order to
be fully comprehended, must be analysed from
>within its wider European context: in
particular, the traditional "national
philological approach", which has informed
Medieval German Studies since their inception
during the 19th century, does not allow students
to understand the full extent to which today's
national cultures in Europe have their roots in
a common medieval past.
Thus, this EMMC aims
to emphasizeize the prenational nature of
Medieval German Studies and analyse them from
within their European context; to this end, the
potentialities of trans-national student and
staff mobility within the EU will be used to
underpin the European approach to the subject.
Since the majority of modules will be taught in
German, a good working knowledge of the language
(level B2 in Palermo and Porto; level C1 in
Bremen) is a pre-requirement; tuition in this
language will be offered in Palermo and Porto,
while students are also expected to gain
linguistic skills in Italian and/or Portuguese
through intensive language training programmes.
A maximum of thirty students will be selected
for the GLITEMA programme; only those candidates
who have obtained a good / very good first cycle
degree in a relevant area of studies will be eligible for selection.
Within the framework of the course, the GLITEMA
consortium is able to offer eight stipends (each
of 20 000 €) to students from the European
Union (deadline for applications is 15 May).
