Description
Erasmus Mundus is a cooperation and mobility programme in the field of higher education that aims to enhance the quality of European higher education and to promote dialogue and understanding between people and cultures through cooperation with Third-Countries. In addition, it contributes to the development of human resources and the international cooperation capacity of Higher education institutions in Third Countries by increasing mobility between the European Union and these countries.
Erasmus Mundus Action 1 offers full-time scholarships for Masters programmes and Doctorate programmes to students coming from any country around the world. These scholarships are exclusively awarded to students that have been selected to attend one of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Programmes at Masters or Doctorate level. Furthermore, the programme offers fellowships to scholars who wish to undertake research assignments or scholarly work in one of the selected Erasmus Mundus Programmes.
In order to benefit from an Erasmus Mundus scholarship/fellowship students and/or scholars should:
- identify the Erasmus Mundus Joint Programme of their interest
- present their application to the relevant Consortium of Universities that delivers the Erasmus Mundus course. Applications are usually requested by consortia between the October and December of the year previous to the academic year they wish to start their studies/research.
