Erasmus Mundus
Erasmus Mundus is the international counterpart of the European-wide Erasmus
programme. It was created on 5th December 2003, gazetted on 31st December 2003
and became an official programme on 20th January, 2004.
In order for a course to be recognised and hosted under the Erasmus Mundus programme,
it should be offered by a Consortium of recognised higher education institutions
from one of the 27 Member States of the European Union, the EEA-EFTA states
(Iceland, Liechtenstein & Norway) or of the candidate countries for accession
to the EU (Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Turkey). The 'minimum
consortium' has three higher education institutions coming from three different
eligible countries. After being selected, this consortium can establish a partnership
with at least one higher education institution of a third-country. The minimum
duration to attend an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course is one year and the maximum
is two years.
