Erasmus Mundus Master Programmes
Fully-funded joint Master's degrees at top European universities. Study in at least two countries with a prestigious EU scholarship.
What is Erasmus Mundus?
Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) are prestigious, integrated, international study programmes jointly delivered by an international consortium of higher education institutions from different countries.
Each programme involves studying in at least two different European countries, giving you a truly international academic experience. Upon completion, you receive a joint, double, or multiple degree recognised worldwide.
What makes EMJM unique is the Erasmus Mundus scholarship — one of the most generous fully-funded scholarships available globally. It covers tuition, travel, living expenses, and insurance for the entire duration of your Master's programme.
Ukrainian students are eligible to apply as partner country candidates and receive the full scholarship, which makes EMJM an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a world-class Master's degree at no personal cost.
