Erasmus Mundus scholarship program

Rafik Jalaldeen

The Erasmus Mundus higher education program offers scholarships to graduates to promote dialogue and understanding between people and cultures through cooperation with other countries.

The European Union launched a new phase of the Erasmus Mundus program in 2009, which envisages the granting of scholarships to graduates from Third World countries to study Master degree and Doctoral level programs in the EU. This new phase will be valid until 2013.

This flagship education and training program will enable more than 180,000 students to study and work abroad each year, as well as support action of co-operation between higher education institutions in Europe and other countries.
