Ambitious science graduates looking to study in Europe on a fully funded, multi-country master’s degree now have a powerful opportunity on the table. The EMOTION Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) Scholarship has officially opened applications for the 2026–2027 academic cohort, offering international students a chance to earn a prestigious European master’s degree with comprehensive financial support.
This opportunity falls under the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees (EMJM) framework, one of the European Union’s most competitive and globally respected scholarship schemes. This article explains what the EMOTION program is, what the scholarship covers, who can apply, and when applications close—so prospective applicants can prepare strategically and apply on time.
What Is the EMOTION EMJM Program All About?
EMOTION is a two-year international master’s degree delivered jointly by multiple European universities, designed to train future experts in skin health sciences, cosmetic research, dermatological innovation, and formulation science. Students follow a mandatory mobility pathway, studying in more than one European country during the program and graduating with a joint or multiple master’s degree.
The program is taught entirely in English and blends academic training with industry-relevant research, making it especially attractive for candidates aiming for careers in biomedical research, cosmetics R&D, pharmaceutical development, and applied life sciences.
For the 2026–2027 intake, the program remains open to applicants from all nationalities worldwide, with scholarships awarded on a highly competitive, merit-based basis.
What the EMOTION Erasmus Mundus Scholarship Offers?
The EMOTION EMJM scholarship is fully funded and structured to remove the major financial barriers associated with studying abroad. Successful candidates can expect a comprehensive support package that typically includes:
- Full tuition fee coverage for the entire two-year master’s program
- A monthly living allowance (up to €1,400 per month) for the duration of the program
- Health and travel insurance aligned with Erasmus Mundus standards
- Coverage of university registration and academic participation costs
- Financial support designed to help offset mobility-related expenses during study periods in different European countries
This funding model allows scholars to focus fully on academic performance, research training, and international exposure rather than financial constraints.
