It is one of 349 unique Erasmus Mundus master’s programmes that have been running since 2004. It was a broad master’s programme, rather than a deep one – each of the five words in the programme title is a master’s in itself. Elsewhere, Erasmus Mundus programme fees vary between €2,000 and €9,000 per year, with higher costs for those coming from outside the EU. In addition to the lower costs of fees and student accommodation compared with Ireland, many places on Erasmus Mundus courses are funded by scholarships. Similarly, Butler says the chance to practise Spanish as part of her master’s programme was a big draw for her.
