Erasmus Mundus Scholarship Guide 2027 (Complete Application Guide)

Overview

The Erasmus Mundus Scholarship is financial support for students taking an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master, an international master's programme supported through Erasmus+, the European Union's programme for education and training. Each programme is jointly designed and delivered by at least three institutions from at least three different countries. Studies can include classes, research, internships, thesis work and study periods in different countries.

Joint Masters normally last 12, 18 or 24 months, equal to 60, 90 or 120 ECTS credits. On completion, students receive a joint degree, multiple degrees or a combination, depending on the programme. Exact universities, routes and admission rules vary between programmes.

What you get

The scholarship is calculated at 1,400 euros per month for the scholarship period. Scholarship holders are not charged tuition fees or other mandatory participation costs, and the funding contributes towards travel, visa, installation and living costs.

Who can apply

Students from all over the world can apply. Applicants need a bachelor's or first degree, or must be in the final year of bachelor's studies and finish before the master's starts. A bachelor's-equivalent level of learning may qualify if officially recognised under the relevant national rules. Applicants must also meet the academic and language requirements of their chosen programme.

There is no common age limit, minimum CGPA, IELTS requirement, publication requirement or professional experience requirement across all programmes; each Joint Master sets its own conditions. Reviewers may consider education, projects, research, internships, professional experience, skills and recommendations, and relevant experience counts for more than a long list of unrelated certificates.

How to apply

Applications are made to the chosen Joint Master following its own guidelines. A strong application shows why the programme fits the applicant's background and future plans, highlighting related coursework, a thesis or final-year project, research, internships, work experience, leadership and community work, awards, technical skills and language skills.
