Scholarships for the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Courses
The scholarship offered for the master’s programs is called the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree and is a part of the Erasmus+ program. There are two categories of EMMC scholarships offered.
In the first category, the scholarships are offered to third-country (non-European) master’s students who have not worked or studied in a European country in the past 5 years. The students selected for this program will be awarded their scholarships in any third-country higher education institute selected by the EMMC consortia, which is in partnership with a European institution.
The second category consists of European master’s students who have been selected by the EMMC consortia. These include students permanently residing in EU+ countries, Turkey, Macedonia, Norway, Iceland, and Lichtenstein, or students who have been studying or working in these countries for more than 12 years in the past 5 years. This study program is offered by European higher education institutions.
During this program, for two years, the location of your program will be different for each semester. At least two of the countries that you will study in will be a part of the Erasmus program. The total study period duration can range from one year to two years, which is the common duration for a master’s program.
There are 22 Erasmus Mundus grants given out each year. The process of applying for the scholarship is not different from the application procedure of your master’s program.
The recipients of the scholarship are selected based on 3 things; their academic competence (which carries 40 points), their motivation letter (which carries 20 points), and their work experience/ recommendation letters (which carries 40 points). The total points for each candidate in all the categories are calculated, and those with the highest points are given the scholarship.
