Full scholarships for the best-ranked students, covering participation costs and contributing to travel, visa and a living allowance
Overview
Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are international master's programmes. A group of higher education institutions designs and delivers each one together. They involve at least 3 institutions from at least 3 different countries, plus multiple associated partners from the academic and non-academic world.
Typically, a programme includes periods of study, research, traineeship, thesis preparation and defence. You will study at several universities in Europe and beyond.
Masters last 1 to 2 academic years (60, 90 or 120 ECTS credits). You gain either a joint degree (one single degree certificate issued on behalf of at least two higher education institutions) or multiple degrees (at least two degree certificates issued by two higher education institutions of the consortium). You define this in detail when you sign a study agreement with the relevant Erasmus Mundus Joint Master at the beginning of your studies.
Students from all over the world are welcome. A new batch of selected Erasmus Mundus Masters is added to the list each year.
