Erasmus Mundus Scholarship

We are happy to announce that Erasmus Mundus scholarships will once again be available for the 2027-2029 intake onwards! Please review our How to Apply section for details on applications starting in September 2027.

Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are prestigious international masters, jointly designed and delivered by a group of higher education institutions. They involve at least 3 institutions from at least 3 different countries, and multiple associated partners from the academic and non-academic world. Typically, they include periods of study, research, traineeship, thesis preparation and defence. For more information on the Erasmus Mundus scholarship programme, please review the official pages of the European Commission.

What does the Erasmus Mundus scholarship (EMJM) cover?

The Erasmus Mundus grant for students covers all participation costs and includes a monthly allowance for living costs. Each grantee will receive EUR 1.400 each month for living costs during the 24 months duration of the programme. Health insurance is included in this scholarship. In addition, all tuition fees are waived.

Eligibility criteria:

  • Scholarship applicants must have already obtained a first higher education degree or demonstrate a recognised equivalent level of learning according to national rules and legislation in place by the application deadline.

  • Students who have already obtained a scholarship under Erasmus+ (specifically EMJM, EMJMD, or PhD-level grants) are not eligible for an additional scholarship under the EMJM action. Please note that Erasmus+ Mobility Grants for Bachelor or Master-level studies do not count towards this criterium. Students benefiting from an EMJM scholarship cannot benefit from another EU grant while pursuing their EMJMD studies.

  • With very few exceptions, most nationalities are eligible to apply for this programme. 

  • A full and timely application is required for any application to be considered.

Erasmus Mundus Scholarships for Career Scholars

Mobility grants may, in select cases, be awarded to (PhD) scholars enrolled in third-country institutions selected by the Euroculture Erasmus Mundus Consortium to contribute to the Joint Programme. We kindly request that you refrain from sending unsolicited requests for funding, as we prefer to work with inquiries initiated through our established channels. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.

Erasmus Mundus and Euroculture: a Brief History

  • In 2005, the Euroculture Master was selected by the European Commission among one of the first Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses (EMMC), for which the Euroculture consortium received funding from 2006 to 2011.

  • In 2011, the programme was selected for a second time for 5 years of funding in the second phase of the Erasmus Mundus Programme, which allowed us to cover scholarships for the intakes of 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. 

  • In 2017, the programme was selected for a third time as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD), which allowed us to cover scholarships for the intakes of 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.

  • In 2021, Euroculture was selected for a fourth time as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD), which allowed us to cover scholarships for the intakes of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. 

  • In 2026, Euroculture succesfully submitted a grant application to receive funding for the fifth time under the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) framework. This renewed funding allows us to offer scholarships for editions 2027-2029, 2028-2030, 2029-2031 and 2030-2032.

The Erasmus Mundus Programme supports European top-quality Joint Master Degrees and enhances the visibility and attractiveness of European higher education in third countries. It fosters cooperation between higher education institutions and academic staff in Europe and Third Countries with a view to creating poles of excellence and providing highly trained human resources. Joint programmes must involve mobility between the institutions of the consortium and lead to the award of recognised joint, double or multiple degrees to successful students / doctoral candidates.
