The ranking is split into three parts:

academic competence (including English proficiency based on an overall assessment of requested documents);

The sum of all three parts can give a maximum of 100 points. The ranking is done taking into account the final score given to each candidate (from the highest to the lowest final score).

By the application deadline, the scholarship students should have already acquired a first higher education degree or demonstrated a recognised equivalent level of learning according to national rules and legislation.
Students who have already been awarded an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees (EMJMD) scholarship or who have obtained an Erasmus Mundus Master/Doctoral Course scholarship in the past are not eligible for an additional scholarship under the EMJMD action. All Students receiving an EMJMD scholarship cannot hold another EU grant while pursuing their EMJMD studies.

No monthly subsistence allowance is offered to scholarship holders from a Partner Country for the periods of the EMJMD exceeding three months spent in any Partner Country indicatively equal to 15 ECTS credits.
Applicants from partner countries are also those who, in line with the 12-month rule, could be considered programme country applicants-meaning those who have carried out their main activity, such as studies, work, etcetera, for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in any of the programme countries, which includes the EU, Turkey, Macedonia, Norway, Lichtenstein, Serbia, and Iceland.

History of Erasmus Mundus and Euroculture Scholarship
The original Euroculture Master was selected in 2005 by the European Commission as one of the first Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses, for which the Euroculture consortium received funding from 2006 until 2011.
This means that, for the second time, in 2011 the programme was selected for a period of 5-year funding in the second phase of the Erasmus Mundus Programme which enables us to cover scholarships for the intakes of 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
In 2017, the programme was – for the third time – selected as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD), which enabled us to cover scholarships for the intakes of 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
In early 2022, Euroculture was – for the fourth time – selected as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) and will offer scholarships for the intakes 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Euroculture is currently renewing its grant application for a fifth time, for re-selection under the EMJM framework. The result of our re-application will be known by early-to-mid 2025. In case the result is positive grants will become available for students starting with the 2026-2028 intake.
