At least 3,200 students from over 100 countries worldwide will be starting an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master programme this September, out of which more than 2,200 will receive an EU-funded scholarship. Over 120 Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters programmes have selected scholarship winners this year.

The Executive Vice President for Social Rights and Skills, Quality Jobs and Preparedness, Roxana Mînzatu, said: “I congratulate the future participants of the Erasmus Mundus programme. Erasmus Mundus is a unique opportunity for students from across the world to study in different countries - meeting new people, experiencing different cultures and gaining new skills and broadening their horizons. Attracting talent strengthens Europe and also countries from around the world that participate.”

The programmes cover a wide range of sectors, from sustainable agriculture technology and marine biotechnology to public health policy and biomedical engineering. They aim to equip graduates with the skills needed to become tomorrow's practitioners, researchers, decision makers and managers. Selected by the European Union, these are run by consortia of universities, primarily from Europe.

Europe is already the world's most popular study destination region and the European Commission is promoting Europe as a study destination through the Study in Europe initiative, giving visibility to the range of quality higher education programmes on offer throughout the EU.
