Erasmus Mundus Master and Doctoral Scholarships 2012/2013

These are joint study or research programmes offered by a consortium of higher education institutions or research organisations from the EU and – in many cases – from outside Europe. These integrated joint programmes include a mandatory study or research period in at least two different European countries. If the consortium includes partners from countries outside the EU, the "mobility tracks" offered may also include a period of study/research at these institutions. All programmes lead to the award of a joint, double or multiple degree recognised in the European countries represented in the consortium.

There are several Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses (ranging from 60 to 120 ECTS) and Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate Programmes (lasting three or four years), covering a wide range of academic disciplines and offering Erasmus Mundus scholarships/fellowships for studies and research activities starting in the academic year 2012/2013.

Candidates wishing to enrol in an Erasmus Mundus Joint Programme at masters or doctoral level in the academic year 2012/2013, will have to apply directly to the consortium or consortia of their choice during the period November 2011 – January/ February 2012.
