About Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters

Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are high-level integrated study programmes at the master level. The programmes are designed and delivered by an international partnership of higher education institutions from different countries worldwide.

Erasmus+ funds scholarships for students to take part in these programmes. The master's programmes themselves offer these scholarships to the best-ranked student applicants worldwide, in annual application rounds.

EU scholarships cover the cost of a student’s participation in the programme, travel, and a living allowance.

Activities and outcomes

Erasmus Mundus joint masters programmes provide 60, 90 or 120 ECTS credits. This means that they last from a minimum of 12 months to a maximum of 24 months. The majority are 24-month programmes.
Your study must comprise at least two study periods in two countries (different from your country of residence). Programmes offer different study tracks that meet this condition.
The successful completion of the study programme will lead to the award of either a joint degree (i.e. one single degree certificate issued on behalf of at least two higher education institutions of the EMJMD consortium) or multiple degrees (i.e. at least two-degree certificates issued by two higher education institutions of the consortium).
