We actually featured one component, or rather, course of study sponsored by the Erasmus Mundus scholarships a while back, and most of the basics have already been covered in that blog post.

Here, we’d like to expand upon the narrow outlook we provided on the Erasmus Mundus Masters programme (and scholarships). Earlier, we saw how the programme sponsored students from around the world, especially from developing countries in Asia like Malaysia and India, the chance to study a Masters in Media and Journalism in three countries in Europe (two in the first year, and one out of two in the second).

But in fact, the programme covers 57 different courses, from the sciences in engineering and biology, to the social sciences in economics and law, as well as the humanities. This year, a total of 1,377 students around the world were awarded Erasmus Mundus International Scholarships. Malaysia got a total of 57 scholarships, while India got a whopping 319 scholarships. And to think that’s just two out of 92 different countries.

So, if you happen to be interested, check out the Erasmus Mundus web site for more details.

Oh yes, did I mention that the Erasmus Mundus scholarship is worth around €42,000 for the two years you’ll spend in Europe under the programme?
