Erasmus Mundus Joint Master 2026

Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) is a prestigious EU-funded scholarship that allows students to study in 2–3 European countries and earn a joint or double degree. It covers €24,000/year for living expenses, full tuition, travel between European countries, and health insurance.

Each Erasmus Mundus programme has a consortium of 2–3 universities across different EU countries. Popular combinations for Indian students include France+Germany, Italy+Spain, Netherlands+Finland, and many more. You study in multiple countries over 1–2 years.

EMJM deadlines vary by programme but are typically December 1–January 15 for intake starting the following September. Some programmes have rolling deadlines. IMA tracks all active EMJM programmes relevant to Indian students.

Erasmus Mundus is extremely competitive — the acceptance rate is typically 1–5% for the scholarship track. Strong academic records (70%+), a compelling motivation letter, research experience, and relevant publications significantly improve your chances.

Most EMJM programmes require IELTS 6.5–7.5. Some technical programmes accept TOEFL iBT 90–100. Language requirements vary by programme and the countries in the consortium.
