Summary
The Erasmus Mundus Design Measures (EMDM) should enhance the capacities of universities to modernise and internationalise their curricula and teaching practices, pool resources, and for higher education systems to develop common mechanisms related to quality assurance, accreditation and recognition of degrees and credits. The support is also intended to explore and exploit the opportunities offered by the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes.
The main objective of the EMDM is to encourage the development of new, innovative, high-level integrated transnational study programmes at Master level.
Detailed Call Description
These design measures should involve Erasmus Mundus under-represented (a) EU Member States and third countries associated to the Programme, and/or (b) institutions from these countries, and/or (c) thematic areas (see Erasmus Mundus Catalogue).
The jointly designed Master should:
- offer a fully integrated curriculum delivered by a consortium of HEIs (composed by at least three HEIs from three different countries, of which at least two must be EU Member States and third countries associated to the Programme);
- aim at recruiting excellent students worldwide;
- include compulsory physical mobility for all recruited students;
- lead to either a joint degree (i.e. one single diploma awarded by at least two HEIs from different countries, of which at least one must be a EU Member State or third country associated to the Programme), or multiple degrees (i.e. at least two diplomas awarded by two higher education institutions from different countries, of which at least one must be a EU Member State or third country associated to the Programme), or a combination.
