Erasmus Mundus scholarship is one of the most sought-after scholarships in the world, and this cannot be farfetched from the value of the scholarship itself which includes free tuition, travelling allowance, round ticket trips, monthly stipend, and Work Visa granted upon completion of the program. In addition, awardees become Erasmus Fellows, like Chevening, like Commonwealth scholarships but better than that, better than both because you are not under compulsion to return to your home country when you are done with your studies unlike the other two.

At the end of their study, beneficiaries might get a single degree from both Universities or a Joint Degree.
