Applications are open for the 2027–2029 edition of the European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations (EMMIR), an international master's programme examining migration, intercultural relations and the social changes associated with human mobility.
The two-year programme brings together partner universities in Europe, Africa and Asia. It welcomes qualified international applicants, including Nigerians, and offers Erasmus Mundus scholarships to selected candidates.
The programme is particularly relevant to graduates interested in migration studies, international development, social sciences, human rights, education and intercultural relations.
Scholarship Benefits
Successful Erasmus Mundus scholarship recipients receive financial support under the programme's applicable scholarship conditions.
The Erasmus Mundus scholarship generally includes:
A monthly contribution of €1,400 for the funded study period, subject to the programme's scholarship rules.
Support intended to cover living expenses and other eligible costs.
Coverage of programme participation costs in accordance with the Erasmus Mundus funding arrangements.
Opportunities to study at partner institutions in different countries.
International academic and professional networking.
Scholarships are competitive. Admission to EMMIR does not automatically guarantee an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
Applicants can also apply for non-fee-paying self-funded study places. Separate arrangements apply to fee-paying applicants.

Have a final academic grade equivalent to at least C+.

Selection and Results
The EMMIR consortium evaluates applications through its selection process. The selection board is expected to make admission decisions in spring 2027, with notifications beginning in April.
Applicants should monitor their email and application accounts for official communications.
Important Note
The 20 December deadline is the relevant date for applicants seeking scholarship consideration or a non-fee-paying place. Applicants applying for fee-paying places should check the separate deadline and availability conditions.
For applicants seeking an Erasmus Mundus scholarship or a non-fee-paying study place, the first degree must be completed by the application deadline.
The programme also applies a rule concerning the age of the applicant's most recent degree: it should normally have been obtained within the previous five years, unless the applicant explains the circumstances in the statement of purpose.
Nigerian applicants should review the official entry requirements carefully before applying.
The Erasmus Mundus scholarship is competitive, and applicants should not assume that meeting the minimum requirements guarantees an award.
