Dreaming of studying a Master’s degree in multiple countries in Europe with full funding? The Erasmus Mundus Scholarship 2027/2028 is now open.

Funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ Programme, the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) offers one of the most prestigious and generous scholarships in the world. Successful applicants receive €1,400 per month for 12 to 24 months, full tuition fee waiver, travel allowance, and health insurance – and study in at least two different European countries, graduating with a joint or double degree.

Unlike many scholarships, there is no single central application. You apply directly to your chosen Joint Master programme. Over 140 Joint Masters are available, and for 2027/28, 37 new programmes have been added in high-demand fields like Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Renewable Energy, Biotechnology, and Data Science.
