Erasmus Mundus Scholarship 2027/2028 | Fully Funded Joint Master's Programmes

Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Scholarships 2027/2028

The European Union continues to offer Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters opportunities for the 2027/2028 academic year. These international programs allow students to pursue a master's degree while studying at multiple universities and in different countries.

The scholarships are open to outstanding applicants from around the world and can provide comprehensive funding, including tuition-fee coverage, insurance, and a €1,400 monthly allowance intended to contribute towards living, travel, visa, and installation expenses.

Several programs have already opened their applications for the 2027 intake, while others are expected to open during the coming months. Prospective applicants are encouraged to identify suitable programs and prepare their documents early.

📋 Scholarship Overview

Important: There is no single application form or universal deadline for all Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters. Each program has its own participating institutions, admission criteria, scholarship availability, and deadlines.

🎓 What Is Erasmus Mundus?

Erasmus Mundus is part of Erasmus+, the European Union's program for education, training, youth, and sport.

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters initiative promotes international academic cooperation through integrated master's programs jointly delivered by universities in different countries.

A program normally involves at least three higher education institutions from three different countries, at least two of which must be EU member states or countries associated with Erasmus+.

Students must complete study periods in at least two different countries. Depending on the program, the curriculum may also include academic research, professional placements, and master's thesis preparation.

Graduates receive either a joint degree awarded on behalf of participating universities or multiple degree certificates, depending on the program structure.

💰 Scholarship Funding and Benefits

Students awarded a full Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters scholarship receive:

• Full exemption from tuition fees and mandatory program participation costs.
• A €1,400 monthly scholarship allowance.
• Insurance coverage under the program arrangements.
• Financial support intended to contribute towards travel, visa, installation, and living expenses through the monthly scholarship.
• The opportunity to study in multiple countries.
• Access to academic and student services provided by participating institutions.
• Research and professional training opportunities were included in the curriculum.
• Possible additional support for eligible individual needs under the applicable program rules.

Scholarship Amount by Program Duration

These amounts represent the total monthly scholarship payments during the eligible funding period. They do not include the additional value of tuition-fee waivers or insurance.

Does the Scholarship Provide Free Accommodation and Airfare?

The scholarship supports students with living, travel, visa, and installation expenses, but free accommodation or separate flight tickets should not be assumed to be guaranteed across all programs.

The monthly allowance contributes towards these costs, and some programs may provide additional services or support under their own arrangements.

🏛️ Participating Universities and Countries

Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are delivered by university consortia rather than by one university alone.

Depending on the program, study routes may involve institutions in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, and other participating countries.

Applicants should review the partner universities and mobility arrangements of their selected program, as university partnerships and study destinations differ by field.

✅ General Eligibility Requirements

Applicants generally must:

1. Hold a recognized bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification.
2. Final-year bachelor's students may apply, provided they graduate before the master's program begins, subject to any earlier qualification deadlines imposed by the selected program.
3. Have an academic background relevant to their chosen field.
4. Meet the applicable language-proficiency requirements.
5. Submit an academic application that meets all program criteria.
6. Be prepared to study full-time and complete compulsory international mobility periods.
7. Not have previously received an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters scholarship, in accordance with the current scholarship rules.

Are All Nationalities Eligible?

Erasmus Mundus is open to applicants from all over the world, including students from Yemen and other Arab countries.

Some additional scholarship funding may be subject to geographical priorities or regional allocations, but there is no single general nationality restriction applying to all programs.

Is There an Age Limit?

The general Erasmus Mundus scholarship framework does not establish one universal maximum age for applicants. Individual program requirements must still be checked.

Is There a Minimum GPA?

There is no single GPA threshold applicable to every Erasmus Mundus Joint Master.

Academic requirements vary by program, and scholarships are awarded competitively according to the selection criteria established by each consortium.

🗣️ English-Language Requirements

Language requirements depend on the selected master's program and its partner universities.

Programs may accept:

• IELTS Academic.
• TOEFL.
• Other recognized language qualifications.
• Evidence of previous education completed in English, if accepted by the program.

For example, the Green Nano program requires a minimum IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL iBT 90, while the Economic Policies for the Global Bifurcation program lists IELTS 7.0 or TOEFL iBT 95 among its accepted requirements.

These are individual program examples, not universal requirements for Erasmus Mundus.

📄 Required Application Documents

Although requirements vary, applicants should generally prepare:

1. Valid passport or accepted identification document.
2. Bachelor's degree certificate or permitted proof of expected graduation.
3. Official academic transcript.
4. Certified translations where necessary.
5. Updated CV or resume.
6. Motivation letter or personal statement.
7. Accepted language-proficiency certificate.
8. Academic or professional references as required.
9. Referee contact information.
10. Evidence of relevant work experience, activities, or achievements where requested.
11. Research proposal, academic writing sample, or portfolio if required.
12. Additional program-specific supporting documents.

Note: Not every program requires two recommendation letters or a research proposal. Some collect references directly through an online system or use other academic assessment materials.

📅 When Do Applications Open and Close?

🔎 How to Find a Suitable Program

1. Visit the official Erasmus Mundus Catalogue.
2. Search by academic field, country, or university.
3. Open the relevant programme entry.
4. Visit the programme's official website.
5. Confirm that it is accepting applications for the 2027 intake.
6. Check whether fully funded Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available.
7. Review academic, language, and document requirements.
8. Verify the scholarship deadline, rather than relying only on the self-funded admission deadline.

Important: Some programmes remain listed in the catalogue even though their EU scholarship funding has ended or they are not offering new scholarship awards. Inclusion in the catalogue alone does not guarantee funded places for 2027.

📝 How to Apply

1. Select an appropriate Master's programme from the official catalogue.
2. Visit the website of the consortium responsible for the programme.
3. Read the admission and scholarship conditions separately.
4. Create an account on the programme's application portal.
5. Complete personal and academic information.
6. Upload all required documents.
7. Indicate interest in an Erasmus Mundus scholarship according to the programme's instructions.
8. Submit the application before the scholarship deadline.
9. Monitor the application portal and registered email address.
10. Complete any interview or additional assessment required by the admissions committee.

There is no single central portal through which students submit applications to every Erasmus Mundus programme. Applications are managed directly by the individual consortia.

🎯 Scholarship Selection Process

Applications are evaluated by the relevant programme's admissions committee.

Selection criteria may include:

• Academic performance.
• Relevance of the applicant's Bachelor's background.
• Motivation letter quality.
• Language proficiency.
• Recommendations.
• Research or professional experience.
• Relevant extracurricular activities and achievements.
• Interview performance where applicable.

Academic admission does not automatically guarantee scholarship funding. Some programmes also admit self-funded students.

📌 Important Questions Before Applying

Can I apply before graduating?

Yes. The general framework allows final-year Bachelor's applicants to apply if they graduate before the programme begins. However, certain scholarship routes may require the degree to be completed by an earlier scholarship deadline.

Is the scholarship available for Bachelor's or PhD programmes?

The opportunity described here specifically concerns joint Master's programmes, not general Bachelor's or PhD scholarships.

Can I apply for more than one programme?

Applicants may explore and apply to different programmes according to their published application rules and any applicable restrictions.

Will the monthly allowance cover all personal expenses?

The funding is designed to contribute towards living, travel, visa, and installation expenses. Actual costs depend on the countries, cities, and individual circumstances involved.
