Erasmus Mundus funds joint Master’s programs run by multiple European universities. You study in 2-3 countries and get a joint or multiple degrees.
Why it’s special
- Study in 2-3 European countries in one program
- Full scholarship: tuition, travel, monthly allowance (~€1,400)
- No separate scholarship application — you apply to the program itself
How it works
Each ‘consortium’ (group of universities) runs its own program with its own deadline. Examples: data science, public health, environmental studies. You apply directly to the consortium, not via a central portal.
Eligibility
- Bachelor’s degree (or final year)
- Requirements vary by program (some need specific backgrounds)
- English proficiency (IELTS/TOEFL) — no single cutoff, check program
Timeline
- Oct 2026 – Jan 2027: most consortia accept applications
- Feb-Apr 2027: selection
- Sep 2027: programs start
Deadlines differ per program — check the official catalogue early.
Application tips
- Apply to 3 programs max (Erasmus+ rule)
- Motivation letter must explain why THIS consortium (which universities, which mobility track)
- Get recommendations early — professors are slow in December
- Check if your program needs GRE or specific prerequisites
