With Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees (EMJMDs), successful applicants can receive a full degree scholarship for a Master-level international study programme and graduate their Master’s with joint or multiple degrees. 

EMJMDs are distinguished by their academic excellence and the high level of integration of the courses between multiple higher education institutions across countries. The programmes are run by international consortia formed by at least three higher education institutions from 27 EU Member states or 6 third countries associated with Erasmus+ Programme (Republic of North Macedonia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Serbia and Turkey). In addition, one or more higher education institutions from the countries not associated with the Programme can be part of the consortium.

Students from all over the world are eligible to apply to EMJMDs. There is no age limit. However, before applying for an EMJMD, make sure you respect the following conditions:

• You must have a first higher education degree or demonstrate a recognised equivalent of learning according to the legislation and practices in the countries that will award the degree. More specific information about entry requirements can be found on the website of each EMJMD
• If you have already received an EMJMD scholarship, you are not eligible for an additional scholarship

Applicants cannot benefit from another EU-funded scholarship scheme at the same time as receiving support for your EMJMD.

NOTE: Those applicants who are residents or have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in a any of the 27 EU Member States and 6 countries associated with the Programme (Republic of North Macedonia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Serbia and Turkey) will receive a reduced scholarship.

Information and website of each Erasmus Mundus Joint Master degree scholarship program is available on the official EMJMD Catalogue of the European Commission.  When applying for a Master’s, you are also applying for a scholarship, so you should carefully read the terms and conditions, deadlines and application links on the website of your preferred program.

EMJMDs last between 12 and 24 months. As part of an EMJMD, you will study in at least two of the countries involved in the international consortium.

EMJMD scholarships cover travel expenses, participation costs, fees and living costs for the entire duration of the Master course.

The total amount of the scholarship may vary depending on the duration of the program and the nationality of the applicant. For specific information, we recommend that you check the scholarship information on the website of the program of your choice.
