What the funding covers
- A scholarship calculated at €1,400 per month for the full programme duration (12, 18 or 24 months), meant for travel, visa, installation and living costs.
- Participation costs (tuition, insurance and other mandatory fees) are covered for scholarship holders.
- A joint or multiple degree from the universities in the consortium, with study periods in at least two countries.
Who can apply
- Open to students of any nationality with a bachelor's degree, or in the final year of one, graduating before the master's starts.
- Each programme sets its own academic, subject and language requirements.
- Anyone who has already held an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master scholarship cannot receive a second one.
- Consortia must keep their scholarship holders geographically balanced (no more than 10% from a single nationality), so strong applicants from under-represented countries are not disadvantaged.
Which nationalities can apply
Every nationality can apply.
How to apply
- Browse the Erasmus Mundus catalogue on the EACEA website and shortlist programmes that fit your background.
- Apply directly to each programme through its own website; there is no central application.
- Most programmes take applications between October and January for the following September, and scholarship applications usually close with the programme's first deadline.
- Prepare a motivation letter tailored to that programme, references, transcripts and language certificates; some programmes also interview.
Before you apply: things to know
- Every consortium has its own deadline and document list. Keep a spreadsheet; applicants often apply to three or four programmes.
- The scholarship is competitive and ranked; programmes also admit self-funded students, so an offer of admission is not an offer of a scholarship.
- You will move between countries, so budget time for more than one residence permit.
