Erasmus Mundus Scholarship 2027-2028: Complete Application Guide



The Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) is widely considered the most prestigious scholarship in Europe. For the 2027-2028 academic cycle, it offers students from across the globe the chance to study in at least two different European countries, fully funded.

What is the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship?

Funded by the European Union, the EMJM is designed to foster international cooperation. You don't just attend one university; your Master's program is jointly delivered by an international consortium of universities.

The Financial Coverage (What's Included?)

If you are selected for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship, you receive a full financial package that covers absolutely everything:

• Tuition Fees: 100% covered.
• Monthly Stipend: Typically €1,400 per month for the entire duration of the program (up to 24 months).
• Travel & Installation Costs: A lump sum provided to help you buy flights and settle into your first host country.
• Health Insurance: Premium global health coverage for the duration of the degree.

How to Apply for the 2027 Intake

The application window for the Fall 2027 intake generally opens between October 2026 and January 2027. Preparing early is the key to winning.

1. Consult the Official Catalogue: Every year, the EU updates the official list of available programs. You must apply directly to the consortium offering the program, not a central agency.
