Welcome to Erasmus Mundus

The Erasmus Mundus programme is a co-operation and mobility programme in the field of higher education which promotes the European Union as a centre of excellence in learning around the world. It supports European top-quality Masters Courses and enhances the visibility and attractiveness of European higher education in third countries. It also provides EU-funded scholarships for third country nationals participating in these Masters Courses, as well as scholarships for EU-nationals studying at Partner universities throughout the world.

Erasmus Mundus – How can I apply?

European higher education institutions (Action 1, 2, 3 and 4) are invited to read the annual calls for proposals very carefully. The annual calls are published on this website every February. The calls contain a detailed description of eligible activities (including possible annual priorities), give guidance to applicants, state the application deadlines and include the application forms. Proposals should be addressed to the Executive Agency as indicated in the application forms.
Students and scholars (Actions 2 and 3) are invited to apply directly to the consortia offering the Eramus Mundus Masters Course of their choice. The list of selected Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses for which third-country students and scholars can request a scholarship is available on the following webpage: Selected Master Courses. Students and scholars shall follow all instructions specified by the Masters Course of their choice. Application deadlines vary from Course to Course, but are normally between December and February.
Third-country higher education institutions (Actions 3 and 4) can only be partners in a project. Projects must be lead by an institution located in Europe. Third-country higher education institutions interested in participating in a Partnership (Action 3) with an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course should contact the consortium offering the course. Similarly, third-country institutions interested in participating in an “attractiveness project” (Action 4) have to find European partners to support and promote this project.
