Applications for the CYBER Erasmus Mundus Master 2026 are open now. This master program in Cyberspace, Behavior and E-Therapy is a two-year joint master’s program funded by Erasmus+. It is offered by three top universities from Portugal, Spain and France. This unique program connects two fields that are Human Behavior Sciences (HBB) and Engineering/Exact Sciences (EEB) to study how digital tools and systems influence human behavior. Students are paired into CYBER Teams (CYBER-T) that work together on courses, projects, internships, and a final thesis.
Graduates receive joint and multiple degrees, plus a diploma supplement, showing the international and interdisciplinary nature of this master’s. Also read WAVES Erasmus Mundus Master 2026 | Acoustics and Vibration Engineering.
