Erasmus Mundus

The Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses and Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorates are top-quality study programmes, which have been developed jointly by European universities from at least 3 different countries. The university consortia offering Erasmus Mundus programmes may also include universities from other parts of the world.

In the Erasmus Mundus Master's and Doctoral programmes there are generous full study scholarships available for the best applicants, both from EU and non-EU countries.
