About the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Scholarship
Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) programmes are international master's degree programmes delivered by partnerships of higher education institutions. They are supported by the European Union through the Erasmus+ programme.
Participating programmes involve universities and other eligible institutions working together to provide an integrated curriculum. Students may study in two or more countries during their degree, depending on the programme structure.
The scholarship scheme aims to promote academic excellence, international cooperation, and cultural exchange. Scholarships are awarded to highly ranked applicants through the selection process established by each participating programme.
Applicants should note that there is no single application deadline or universal application form for all Erasmus Mundus programmes. Each programme publishes its own admission requirements, scholarship information, and application schedule.
