In short
A master’s taught by at least three universities in at least three countries, with a period of study in more than one of them. Many of the programmes offer full scholarships to the best-ranked applicants. You apply to the programme, not to a central Erasmus office.
Law, public health and engineering programmes exist, but the title has to match. Search the catalogue for the subject, then read that consortium’s site. A programme that merely mentions “law” in one module is not a law degree.
Who can apply
- You hold a bachelor’s degree, or you are in the last year of one and you will have graduated before the master’s starts. A recognised equivalent can be accepted.
- You meet that programme’s own subject, language and grade rules. Worldwide applicants, including Sierra Leone, are eligible to be considered.
Papers they ask for
- The list on that programme’s website. It is never the same twice: degree, transcript, motivation letter, references, and often a language certificate.
- A scholarship section inside the same application, if the programme separates fee-paying places from scholarship places. Some do.
What it pays
- Participation costs
- A monthly living allowance
- Travel and installation support, on the terms of that programme
How to apply
- Search the official Erasmus Mundus catalogue. Note the programme, not just the subject area.
- Leave the catalogue and open the programme’s own site. Read who the partner universities are, which countries you would actually live in, and the deadline.
- Apply there. For a start in autumn 2027, most deadlines fall between October 2026 and January 2027. Some have already closed.
Read this before you file
- A scholarship, where the programme offers one, covers participation costs and contributes to travel, a visa and a living allowance. The catalogue page does not print one euro amount for every programme. Use the figure on the programme site.
- The degree is either one joint certificate or two or more national certificates. Ask which, before you assume a Sierra Leone employer or a bar will read it the way you hope.
- The course is one to two years, at 60, 90 or 120 credits. You move. Budget for more than one visa.
