Erasmus+ versus Erasmus Mundus: what's the difference?

Erasmus Mundus is a specific part of Erasmus+, the EU’s overarching programme supporting education, training, youth, and sports.

While Erasmus+ includes many other opportunities, Erasmus Mundus focuses specifically on joint master’s programmes offered by university partnerships.

Top reasons to apply

• prestigious programmes: you’ll join some of the most prestigious programmes in Europe, recognised for their innovation, high academic standards and international reputation
• study across countries: experience life in multiple countries and take your learning further at universities with diverse teaching styles and expertise
• unique experiences: take part in internships, research projects, or fieldwork, applying your skills in real-world settings
