Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees

Erasmus Mundus is a joint initiative by the European Commission, offering a unique platform for students and scholars to engage in cross-cultural learning, foster international collaboration, and pursue advanced studies in various fields. The programme aims to enhance the quality of European higher education and promote intercultural understanding through cooperation with partner countries around the world. Erasmus Mundus provides a range of opportunities for students, academics, and researchers, fostering collaboration and mobility in the global academic community. Erasmus Mundus offers joint degree programmes at the master's level, allowing students to study in multiple countries and institutions. Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are prestigious international masters, jointly designed and delivered by a group of higher education institutions.
