The first check is the programme’s stated field or course of study, not its name alone. For an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master, Erasmus+ provides a catalogue for finding current programmes, while each master’s own website lists details including the course of study, participating universities, entry requirements, and application steps.
How to check the programme
- Find the current programme. Search the Erasmus+ course catalogue, which is intended to provide details about the latest programmes on offer.
- Open the master’s own website. Review its description of the course of study and compare that description with the applicant’s intended academic field.
- Check the entry requirements separately. A programme may cover a particular field while also imposing academic or other entry conditions. Finding the right subject area does not remove the need to meet those requirements.
- Review the application steps. The master’s website should explain how the application must be submitted and which participating universities are involved.
What still needs confirmation
The cited Erasmus+ guidance does not state a universal rule for determining which fields qualify for every master’s programme, nor does it suggest that a broad programme title automatically covers every discipline. If the course description leaves the applicant’s field unclear, the applicant should confirm the match through the programme’s own listed application process before relying on the programme title as evidence of eligibility.
A field match also does not by itself establish admission or a funding outcome; those remain separate determinations.
