Would you like to earn a Master's degree in Europe but cannot afford the tuition fees and living expenses?
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's programme may be worth considering. It brings together universities from different countries to offer international Master's degrees. Students may study in more than one country and graduate with a joint degree or separate degrees from participating universities.
Many of these programmes offer competitive Erasmus Mundus scholarships to outstanding applicants from around the world. Depending on the programme and award, funding can cover participation costs, including tuition, and provide financial support towards living expenses, travel and visa-related costs.
The scholarships are open to applicants from Nigeria and other African countries. You do not need to be a European citizen to apply.
The important thing to understand is that Erasmus Mundus is not one scholarship with one application form or deadline.
Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are international postgraduate programmes delivered by partnerships of universities. Students from around the world, including Africa, can apply for participating programmes and compete for scholarships that support study across multiple countries.
