Overview
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) Scholarship offers students from around the world the opportunity to pursue an international master's degree. These prestigious programs are jointly designed and delivered by consortia of at least three higher education institutions from different countries, primarily within Europe. Students can study in multiple locations, experience diverse cultures, and gain international academic experience, combining coursework, research, and professional experiences like internships or thesis preparation.
Coverage
The scholarship is fully funded for the best-ranked students. It covers full tuition fees, participation costs, travel expenses, visa costs, and provides a monthly living allowance. This comprehensive funding aims to alleviate financial burdens, allowing students to focus entirely on their studies.
Eligibility
Students from all over the world are eligible to apply. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree (first degree) or be in their final year of bachelor's studies, with the requirement to graduate before the master's program commences. Individuals demonstrating a bachelor's-equivalent level of learning may also qualify if officially recognized according to national legislation in the degree-awarding country. Additionally, applicants must meet the specific academic and language proficiency requirements set by their chosen Erasmus Mundus Joint Master program. Some programs may have further requirements, such as a specific academic background or relevant professional experience.
Requirements
Required documents typically include academic transcripts, proof of language proficiency, a motivation letter, and recommendation letters. Applicants are also expected to submit a clear, focused CV, potentially adhering to specific format or content requirements set by the individual program. Meeting the academic and language requirements of the selected EMJM program is mandatory.
