Erasmus Mundus Programme supports academic excellence and the attractiveness of Europe’s higher education worldwide and fosters cooperation with targeted third countries with the objective of contributing to their development.

Erasmus Mundus offers:

• Full-time scholarships for Masters programmes and Doctorate programmes to students and scholars coming from any country around the world. (Erasmus Mundus Action 1 – Masters Courses and Joint Doctorates)
• 1-36 month scholarships to students and academics to study in European or non-European higher education institutions at all level of study. (Erasmus Mundus Action 2 – Erasmus Mundus Partnerships (former External Cooperation Window – EMECW)

In order to benefit from an Erasmus Mundus scholarship/fellowship students and/or scholars should:

• identify the Erasmus Mundus Joint Programme or Erasmus Mundus Partnership of their interest
• present their application to the relevant Consortium of Universities that delivers the Erasmus Mundus course or participates in the Erasmus Mundus Partnership. 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.

Selected Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses, Joint Doctoral Programmes and Action 2 consortia are published on the European Commission's website and on the site of the national Erasmus Mundus National Structures (in Hungary: Tempus Public Foundation).

Applications for Action 1 scholarships
Application and admittance varies depending on specific courses. Once you have been admitted, you will be expected to study in at least two different European institutions over a period of one or two years (Masters) or three years (Doctoral) to obtain a double, multiple or joint diploma at the end of your studies.
The amount of scholarship awarded varies depending on whether the student has carried out their main activities (studies, work etc) for more than 12 months in Europe over the last 5 years or not. The programme offers full-time scholarships and/or fellowships that cover the living costs, tuition fees, travelling and insurance costs of the students (varies between 10000-33600 €/year).

Applications for Action 2 scholarships
Students, researchers and academics from EU and non-EU partner countries interested in benefiting from a scholarship are invited to submit their applications directly to a selected partnership. Please remember that you can only apply to the lot where your country is included. If your nationality does not correspond with the countries mentioned you can still contact the selected partnership to find out how to participate.

All mobility under Erasmus Mundus Action 2 shares the following characteristics:

• Mobility covers a range of individual beneficiaries: students at undergraduate, masters, doctorate and post-doctorate level, academic and administrative staff and professionals from universities from the non-European countries covered by the respective geographic lot.
• It covers a wide range of academic disciplines, though these will vary according to the priorities set for each of the geographic lots.
• To benefit from a grant, European students and teachers must be registered at one of the European universities in the partnership.
• Students, professors or professionals from outside Europe must be nationals of one of the countries covered by the respective geographic lot. They do not necessarily need to belong to one of the consortium universities.
• The various geographic lots favour the award of grants to nationals of the non-European countries who are disadvantaged or who find themselves in a "particularlty vulnerable situation". Please see the annual call for proposals for more on this definition.
• Grants cover the entirety of the cost of travel and accommodation at the host university, including the living costs and costs related to matriculation and insurance (varies between 1500-3000 €/month).

Please note that eligibility criteria for grants and scholarships may vary from one geographic lot to another.
