How to Get Erasmus Mundus Masters Scholarship for Fully Funded Study in Europe

Erasmus Mundus Masters Scholarship is a prestigious scholarship that fully funds studies in Europe. In this blog, I will guide you on how to win the Erasmus Mundus Masters Scholarship. First, let me introduce myself so you understand why I am the right person to guide you. My name is Naeem Ur Rehman, and I earned my Bachelor's in Environmental Sciences from the University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. During the 7th semester of my BS, I applied to a joint master's program under Erasmus Mundus. Two months later, I received confirmation of my selection for the scholarship. Now, I will guide you on how to win the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship.

Introduction to Erasmus Mundus Masters Scholarship

The European Union offers Erasmus Mundus Scholarships through Erasmus+. These fully funded scholarships provide 1,400 euros per month. If selected for an Erasmus Mundus program, you will complete your degree in more than one European country. These programs are jointly designed by different European universities. Most programs do not charge an application fee. Erasmus Mundus offers over 200 programs across various fields.

What to Prepare before Applying for Erasmus Mundus Masters Scholarship

If your CGPA is above 3.5 on a 4.00 scale or its equivalent, you are a strong candidate. You will need an official or unofficial transcript, a well-prepared CV, and a valid passport. A crucial requirement today is an English language test score (IELTS or TOEFL). Do not apply without IELTS or TOEFL. If your GPA is good, take the English language test as soon as possible. You need at least an overall band score of 6.5 on the IELTS.

Once these documents are ready, you can begin filling out the application form. You may need to answer specific questions that test your motivation, or some programs might ask for a Statement of Purpose (SOP). Write it carefully. After completing your academic and professional qualifications, you will need to provide email addresses for two recommenders, who can be your university professors. Contact them in advance before listing their email addresses. After meeting all application requirements, you can submit your application. Here is the document checklist:

• Transcript
• Passport
• CV
• English Language Test Report
• Statement of Purpose
• Recommendation Letters
