Erasmus Mundus Scholarships

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.
