The programme lists additional subject, academic-record and language requirements. Its applicant guidance must be read carefully; being eligible for general Erasmus Mundus funding does not establish eligibility for this particular master’s.

New Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Selected in 2026
The European Commission announced the selection of 37 Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters and 50 Erasmus Mundus Design Measures in July 2026. It indicated that the new master’s programmes would be added to the catalogue and open for student applications for the September 2027 intake. Examples of fields in that selection include medical image analysis, chemical nano-engineering, semiconductor integration, artificial-intelligence-assisted structural design, law and data, and One Health.
Selection is not the same as an open student application. Candidates should use the official Erasmus Mundus catalogue to identify an individual programme and then follow the linked consortium website for confirmed admissions and funding availability.
How Much Funding Do Erasmus Mundus Scholarships Provide?
For eligible students awarded an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master scholarship, the European Union’s stated contribution is €1,400 per month, for the programme’s scholarship duration up to 24 months. This corresponds to €16,800 for 12 months, €25,200 for 18 months or €33,600 for 24 months, if the respective full duration is awarded.
The Erasmus+ student guidance states that full scholarships cover participation costs and contribute toward travel, visa and living expenses. Do not assume that every programme pays separate additional travel or installation sums on top of the monthly amount. Insurance, fee arrangements, disbursement and any other support should be checked on the chosen consortium’s scholarship page.

Who Is Eligible for Erasmus Mundus Scholarships in 2027?
Applicants from countries worldwide may apply to Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters. At the programme level, candidates generally need a bachelor’s degree or recognised equivalent. Final-year bachelor’s students can also be eligible, but must graduate before the master’s programme begins; some consortia impose stricter deadlines for providing proof of graduation.
Individual master’s programmes set requirements for subject background, prior coursework, grade thresholds, languages, document formats and other conditions. There is no universal Erasmus Mundus IELTS score, GPA threshold or fixed nationality quota that can substitute for the selected consortium’s published criteria.
Applicants should also distinguish admission eligibility from scholarship eligibility. Meeting entry requirements does not guarantee scholarship selection, and some programmes admit self-financed students after scholarship deadlines have passed.
How to Apply for Erasmus Mundus Scholarships 2027
- Find an appropriate programme. Search the official Erasmus Mundus catalogue, then open the corresponding consortium website.
- Check the exact intake. Confirm that the programme is accepting applications for 2027, not simply displaying information for an earlier cohort.
- Check scholarship availability. A course may admit students without offering Erasmus Mundus scholarships in that particular year.
- Verify eligibility and the deadline. Check degree, subjects, grades, language evidence, country grouping and the deadline specifically for scholarship consideration.
- Prepare documents. Follow the consortium checklist. Commonly requested items include transcripts, degree evidence, CV, motivation statement, language results and recommendations.
- Submit to the consortium. Use its official application form or portal, not the European Commission catalogue as a submission system.
- Track follow-up steps. Monitor email for requests, interviews, offer notices and scholarship decisions, and plan visa arrangements only after checking admission and travel requirements.
