EU Erasmus Mundus student scholarships
The Erasmus Mundus Scholarship is awarded to the best students admitted each year to the programme from all over the world.
The scholarship amounts to a maximum of 33,600 € (1400 € per month for up to 24 months).
All scholarship holders are granted a tuition fee waiver.
To be eligible for the scholarship, you must
- comply with the Erasmus Mundus Mobility Requirement

Erasmus Mundus Scholarship holders must successfully complete a minimum of 30 ECTS in two countries which are different from the country in which you resided at the time of application.
This requirement affects applicants residing in Poland and Italy at the time of application:
- if you reside in Italy at the time of application and choose University of Milan (in Italy) as your second-year university, you will not be eligible for the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. However, you will be eligible for the scholarship if you choose another second-year university.
- if you reside in Poland at the time of application and choose University of Warsaw (in Poland) as your second-year university, you will not be eligible for the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. However, you will be eligible for the scholarship if you choose another second-year university.
If you are selected for the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship, the first instalment is transferred upon arrival to the University of Copenhagen – expected disposal by the end of September.
