The Erasmus Mundus program was established in 1987 by the European Union. Its primary purpose is to promote closer cooperation between universities across European countries. Over the years, the program expanded in reach, and with a broadened framework, it became known as “Erasmus+.”
One of the programs under it, the Erasmus Mundus Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Policy Analysis AFEPA Scholarship, offers financial support to international students from all nationalities who wish to pursue a Master’s program in Europe. The scholarship is available at universities in Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Belgium.
The Erasmus Mundus AFEPA Scholarship is a fully funded program that covers the full tuition costs of candidates, travel and visa costs, and a monthly stipend for living expenses.
