Warning ! Candidates are not allowed to apply to more than 3 Erasmus Mundus master courses for the same academic year.
The Agris Mundus consortium and the European Commission select who receives an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
The scholarship is managed by the Agris Mundus secretariat. Beneficiaries are required to order their flight ticket by themselves, from their home country.
Upon arrival in Europe, students are encouraged to open a bank account in the country where they attend the M1. They will receive a lump sum of 1500 euros to pay back the ticket and to facilitate their installation. This lump sum is a part of the scholarship, as well as the amount of the Agris Mundus fees (7500 euros per academic year). The remaining part of the scholarship will be transferred regularly on the students personal bank account. The solicitation for the scholarship is included in the application form.
Other Scholarships
Students who are admitted but who do not benefit of an Erasmus Mundus scholarship are encouraged to look by themselves for other sources of financial support. For this purpose, the secretariat can send them an estimate of the cost of the studies.
