CYBERSURE is a two-year Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in cybersecurity and assurance, coordinated by NTNU in Norway with six partner universities. The programme is open to all nationalities. Applications open on 16 November 2026 at 09:00 (GMT+1) and close on 4 January 2027 at 23:59 (GMT+1). You apply for a scholarship in the same online application.
The role
Full-time, 120 ECTS, taught in English, leading to a joint degree. Year one is at NTNU in Trondheim and Gjøvik. Year two is at one of six partners: Aalto (Finland), University of Tartu (Estonia), DTU (Denmark), KTH (Sweden), EURECOM (France) or TU Graz (Austria).
Erasmus Mundus scholarships cover tuition, travel and a monthly living allowance; the programme’s scholarship page shows 16 800 EUR per year. For the 2026 intake the page lists 12 scholarships for students from all countries and 5 additional ones for targeted regions; the number for the 2027 intake is not stated. Applicants learn the scholarship decision when the selection results are published. Someone selected without a scholarship can join self-funded. Students who previously held an EMJM scholarship cannot apply for another.
