Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Scholarship 2026 – Fully Funded Study in Europe (Step-by-Step Guide)

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) is a prestigious, fully funded international scholarship funded by the European Union.

This is one of the most competitive and generous scholarships in the world, offering the chance to live, study, and gain diverse international experience.

This scholarship is ideal for academically strong students with leadership potential, relevant academic backgrounds, and a desire to study and explore Europe without worrying about financial constraints.


What is Erasmus Mundus?

Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are high-level, integrated study programs delivered by an international consortium of higher education institutions. You will study in at least two European countries, often earning a joint or multiple degree from the participating universities.
