The Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Scholarship is accepting applications for the 2024-25 academic year.
This scholarship is open to students wishing to pursue a master’s degree.
At the end of the scholarship, successful candidates will be awarded either:
- A joint master’s degree
- Multiple master’s degrees
There are 215 courses to choose from via the Erasmus Mundus catalogue, and students can apply directly to their chosen course. These courses span across several universities in the European Union, and students can learn about individual application requirements on each programme’s page.
The scholarship covers tuition fees and provides a stipend ranging from €1,100 to €1,500 per month for 24 months. Additionally, recipients receive a travel allowance, international airfare tickets between each country after each semester, and the flexibility to choose any destination to work in worldwide after completing the programme.
The programmes involve at least three universities from three different countries and often include partners from both academic and non-academic fields. Programmes cover a range of skills including academic study, research, gaining practical experience, and working on and defending a thesis.

To be eligible to apply, applicants must have either completed a bachelor’s degree or be in the final year of their bachelor’s studies. Students must also have graduated before their chosen master’s programme begins.
All undergraduate students from the EU are eligible to apply. Undergraduate students from Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia and Turkey are eligible to apply for the Erasmus+ programme because these non-EU countries are affiliated locations. The Erasmus Mundus joint master’s degrees are also available to non-EU students.
Eligibility criteria will differ across the programmes, so it’s important to check each programme before applying.
The application process varies depending on the chosen programme, but most will require letters of recommendation, a motivation letter, academic transcripts, CV, proof of residence, and proof of English proficiency (an IELTS score of 6.5 or equivalent).
Although many programmes closed their deadlines in January 2024, some programmes are still open for applications until March 2024.
To further support applicants, the Erasmus Mundus Association (EMA) provides valuable resources, including course contacts, events with national volunteer representatives, and success stories from previous applicants. This offers applicants the opportunity to connect with mentors, advisers and the Erasmus+ international office or EMJMD coordinators before their final submission.
