Eligibility
Students from all over the world holding a first degree are eligible for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
The European Union distinguishes between scholarships for Erasmus+ partner country nationals and for Erasmus+ programme country nationals.
Applicants with more than one nationality may choose under with category they want to apply (Erasmus+ programme country or partner country).
All students who have previously received an Erasmus Mundus scholarship for degree-seeking purposes will automatically be disqualified for the scholarship.
All students who are awarded an Erasmus Mundus scholarship will be provided with a scholarship contract.
Mandatory Mobility: During the Master’s programme all students need to have two mandatory mobility periods of one semester in countries different than their home country/ country of residence at the moment of application. This also applies for the optional term at one of the non-European partner universities.
