Erasmus Mundus is a cooperation and mobility programme in the field of higher education. The programme:
• supports high-quality European masters programmes - Erasmus Mundus masters courses (EMMCs) each of which is jointly run by a consortium of European universities and brings together students from Europe and across the world;
• offers prestigious scholarships to enable students from around the world to engage in postgraduate study on an Erasmus Mundus masters course in Europe.
What does the name Erasmus Mundus stand for?
Desiderius Erasmus (1469-1536) dedicated his life to promoting a universal concept of wisdom which he saw as the key to mutual understanding between peoples. Equally well versed in theology, education, rhetoric and classical studies, Erasmus studied and taught in France, England, Italy, Switzerland and what is now Belgium.
Due to his brilliant career as a mobile European scholar, the European Commission decided to name the first European student mobility programme after him: the Erasmus grants, launched in 1987, have enabled well over a million European students to study in another European country.
In 2004, for the new programme to support mobility between Europe and the rest of the world, it was decided to add 'Mundus' (Latin for 'world'), to the existing 'Erasmus' label.
Who can receive an Erasmus Mundus scholarship?
Graduate students worldwide (except for citizens of the European Union, EU candidate countries, Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland) can apply for a scholarship, provided they have an excellent academic record and excellent study results.
What do the scholarships cover, and how many are awarded?
Erasmus Mundus scholarships cover travel costs and full living costs in Europe throughout the masters programme. The number awarded rises each year, thereby giving more and more students a chance to live and study in at least two European countries.
How to apply?
Students apply directly to the European masters course of their choice. Here is how it works.
• Go to the Erasmus Mundus website:
http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus_mundus/programme/about_erasmus_mundus_en.php
• Find and click on the academic discipline you are interested in. A list of academic programmes throughout Europe will appear for you to select.
• Within the list of programmes offered, choose the one(s) that suit(s) your needs. You will find that each programme has its own website with application tools. All you have to do then is apply!
• Make sure you read the application and admission conditions of your chosen programme carefully.
