Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Scholarships, funded by the European Commission under Erasmus+, support students to undertake a fully-funded, integrated master's programme delivered jointly by a consortium of universities across at least 3 countries. There are more than 280 such programmes spanning sciences, engineering, humanities, and social sciences. Each scholarship covers tuition (up to the programme's contribution amount of ~€9,000 per year for non-EU students), a monthly living allowance of about €1,400, and contributions toward travel and installation, for the 1- to 2-year programme. A full 2-year scholarship is typically worth around €40,000–€49,000 in combined tuition and allowances. The programmes are mobility-based: students study at 2 or more partner universities in different countries and receive a joint, double, or multiple degree. Applicants choose up to 3 Erasmus Mundus programmes per year and apply directly to each consortium, which selects the scholarship holders. Deadlines are set per programme, commonly between December and mid-January.

Each consortium runs its own merit-based selection — academic record, fit with the programme, motivation, and (where relevant) research interests or experience. Consortia rank applicants and nominate scholarship holders within their EU-allocated quota, typically balancing places across regions.
Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ programme and delivered by consortia of universities across multiple countries.
