The Erasmus Mundus programme is a co-operation and mobility programme in the field of higher education, which promotes the European Union as a centre of excellence in learning around the world.
The Erasmus Mundus programme
- supports European top-quality Masters Courses,
- enhances the visibility and attractiveness of European higher education in third countries,
- provides EU-funded scholarships for third country nationals participating in these Masters Courses, as well as scholarships for EU-nationals studying in third countries.
Applications for all actions are to be addressed to the European Commission.
Students and scholars, however, that wish to submit their applications to participate in an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course (with or without a scholarship) must apply directly to the selected Erasmus Mundus Masters Consortium offering the course in question.
The Erasmus Mundus programme is open to:
- the 27 Member States of the EU: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom.
