Summary
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters supports high-level integrated transnational study programmes at Master level delivered by an international consortium of higher education institutions (HEIs) 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 Joint Masters are programmes of excellence and should contribute to the integration and internationalisation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The specificity of EMJMs lies in the high degree of jointness/integration among the participating institutions and the excellence of their academic content.
The EMJM aims to enhance the attractiveness and excellence of European higher education in the world and attract talent to Europe, through a combination of:
- institutional academic cooperation to showcase European excellence in higher education; and
- individual mobility for all students taking part in the EMJM, with EU-funded scholarships for the best students applying.
Call Total Budget
Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) grant is calculated on the basis of the following three components:
- a contribution to the institutional costs for the implementation of the programme;
- a maximum number of student scholarships to be awarded throughout the duration of the agreement;
- a top-up intended to cover individual needs of students with disabilities.
The consortium will receive a grant agreement for a duration of 74 months, to finance at least four editions of the Master programme, each lasting 1 to 2 academic years (60, 90, or 120 ECTS credits).
Previously funded Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees (EMJMDs) and Joint Masters (EMJMs) can only apply for renewal at the earliest the year before the contract ends. In no circumstance can two editions of a Master funded by two different grant agreements start in the same academic year.
