About this scholarship

What this award covers and who it is designed to support.

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree Scholarships (part of the EU’s Erasmus+ Programme) are fully funded opportunities for students worldwide to pursue a Master’s degree in Europe. Each Erasmus Mundus programme is a consortium of at least three higher education institutions (from different European countries, often including non-European partners).
Awardees study in at least two countries during their program and receive a joint, double, or multiple degree upon completion. The scholarships cover tuition fees, living costs, travel, and insurance.
Each programme is highly competitive and has its own curriculum focus (e.g., agriculture, engineering, political science, data science, environment, food technology, etc.). Many Erasmus Mundus graduates go on to work in international organizations, research, academia, and global industries.
Scholarship holders also benefit from cultural exchange, networking opportunities, and exposure to multiple European education systems.
