Erasmus Mundus Design Measures

Summary

The main objective of the Erasmus Mundus Design Measures is to encourage the development of innovative, highly integrated new internationalstudy programmes at Master level. These international study programmes are jointly delivered by an international consortium of higher education institutions from different countries worldwide and, where relevant, other educational and/or non-educational partners with specific expertise and interest in the concerned study areas/professional domains.

Detailed Call Description

Erasmus Mundus Design Measures aim to enhance the capacities of higher education institutions in Europe to modernise and internationalise their curricula by developing new master programmes in partnership with universities worldwide to modernise and internationalise their curricula and teaching practices, pool resources, and for higher education systems to develop common mechanisms related to quality assurance, accreditation and recognition of degrees and credits. The support is also intended to explore and exploit the opportunities offered by the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes.

Beneficiaries should provide a level of education corresponding to level 7 of the international standard classification of education ISCED 2011.

The jointly designed Master should:

  • offer a fully integrated curriculum delivered by a consortium of HEIs (composed by at least three HEIs from three different countries, of which at least one must be from a EU Member State or third country associated to the Programme and one from a third country not associated to the Programme);
  • aim at recruiting excellent students worldwide; – include compulsory physical mobility for all recruited students;
  • lead to either a joint degree (i.e. one single diploma awarded by the HEIs involved in the consortium), or multiple degrees (i.e. different diplomas awarded by the HEIs involved in the consortium), or a combination (some HEIs involved in the consortium delivering a joint degree, and other HEIs of the consortium delivering their own diploma).

Call Total Budget

€3.000.000

Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan
