Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Scholarships

Scholarships for the top-ranked applicants cover your participation costs (such as tuition fees) and contribute to travel, visa and living costs, for a 1–2 year master's taught by several universities in Europe and beyond.

• Open to students from any country.
• You need a bachelor's degree (first higher education degree) or a recognised equivalent level of learning, or must be in your final year and graduate before the master's starts.
• You must meet the entry requirements of the programme you choose; each consortium sets its own.
• You can't get an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters scholarship if you've held one before.
• Scholarships are awarded in full, and only for full-time study.
• Not every programme in the catalogue offers EU-funded scholarships.

Open to students from anywhere in the world who have a bachelor's degree, or will finish it before the master's starts. You apply directly to each programme, and each one sets its own entry requirements and scholarship selection.
