Studying abroad is a central part of Erasmus Mundus scholarships and has been shown to have a positive effect on later job prospects. It is also an opportunity to improve language skills, gain self-confidence and independence, and immerse yourself in a new culture. Erasmus + also offers the possibility of combining study abroad with an internship.
Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available to students at the bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral level.
For almost 30 years, the European Union has funded the Erasmus Mundus program, which has enabled more than three million European students to spend part of their studies at another higher education institution or with an organization in Europe. Erasmus + offers these opportunities to everyone: students, staff, trainees, teachers, volunteers and more. It’s not just about Europe or Europeans either: with Erasmus +, people from all over the world can access opportunities.
