Erasmus Mundus Program

In this post, I'll try to clarify some unknown things about Erasmus Mundus Programs. First of all, it's not a regular Erasmus Exchange program that everybody knows. This is a joint Master or a Doctorate program that allows you to graduate with at least 2 diplomas from European universities. It's not like you already have a university like in Erasmus, after you finish your undergraduate degree, you apply for these programs individually directly from the websites of the programs.
In the end, you study 1 year in one unversity and the next year in another university (this can also be 3 universities with 6 months in 2 of them and 1 year another). All the courses are offered in English and they provide VERY generous scholarships especially for non-european students.

The scholarship is about 16000 euros a year for Category A students which means non-european. Turkey is also in this part although you might come across some wrong information about this. Actually they opened a special window for Turkey and Balkans and each program accepts more or less 2 students from this window. Before this Turkey wasn't eligible. It's been only 3 years for Turkey so this program is still not very known.

For the European students the scholarship is about 6000 euros a year. This is quite weird actually, because the gap between europeans and others is really huge, and surprisingly on the favor of non-europeans.
When you search information about the programs, you'll see third-countries instead of non-european.. This doesn't mean third world country but the countries which are not host.

You can find a full list of programs in this link which is from the official page of Erasmus Mundus.

I'm studying in European Master in Software Engineering and I'll mention about this program in another post.
