What does the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) scholarship cover?

The EMJMD scholarship covers:

  • scholarship holders studying in their country of residence will not receive the subsistence allowance during that period;

How should I apply for an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) if I am from a Partner country but I am living in Europe?

Check if the 12-month residence rule applies to you:

If you are a national from a Partner country and have carried out your main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last 5 years in one or several Programme country(ies), you should apply as Programme country candidate. The wording “total of 12 months” refers to all possible cases:

  • a single period in one Programme country
  • several periods in one Programme country
  • the sum of different periods in different Programme countries

The 5-year reference period is calculated backwards from the EMJMD scholarship application deadline. This 12-month rule does not apply to Partner country candidates who hold refugee status in a Programme country.

 If you are a national from a Partner country and the 12-month residence rule does not apply to you, you should apply as a Partner country candidate.

 

Which countries are “partner country” and which ones are “program country”?

The list of countries whose nationals are eligible for a scholarship is presented here. A differentiation between program country students and partner country students is applied.
No more than 25% of the total number of scholarships available will be awarded to program country students.

Scholarship holders spending part of the EMJMD course in their country of residence are not entitled to benefit from the monthly subsistence allowance for this period. Partner country students spending part of the EMJMD course in any partner country are not entitled to the monthly subsistence allowance for this period.
