The AMASE Masters course has been successfully implemented over the last five years with funding from the Erasmus Mundus Programme. However, as a result of the highly competitive nature of the selection and the limited budget available, the course was not renewed under the first call of the second phase of the programme. As a consequence no "Erasmus Mundus scholarships" will be available for this Masters' 2010 intake.

The course has demonstrated high quality throughout. In order to ensure the programme's continuity - the "non-selected status" may prove temporary and only last until the next call - the consortium delivering this Joint Masters course has been awarded by the European Commission/EACEA an Erasmus Mundus Brand Name (EMBN) by which it commits itself to maintain the requirements and level of excellence expected from an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course.
