About the Scholarship/Programme

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree Programme in International Humanitarian Action (NOHA) is an international, multidisciplinary master’s programme designed for people who intend to work or are already working in the field of humanitarian action.

The programme was established in 1993 and is delivered through a network of European universities. It combines academic education with practical and professional preparation for humanitarian work. Students study across different universities and benefit from an international and multicultural learning environment.

The programme runs for two years, comprising four semesters and 120 ECTS. Students begin with a foundation period at their selected home university, followed by a specialisation period at another NOHA university. The third semester offers either regional training or a work-placement pathway, while the final semester focuses on research and the master’s thesis.

The current programme is delivered through universities including Aix-Marseille Université in France, University of Malta, University of Groningen in the Netherlands, Ruhr-Universität Bochum in Germany, Universidad de Deusto in Spain, University College Dublin in Ireland, University of Warsaw in Poland and Uppsala University in Sweden.

Scholarship Benefits

For the 2027–2029 intake, the official NOHA page states that Erasmus Mundus scholarships will include:

• €1,400 per month
• Funding for up to 24 months
• Contribution toward travel costs
• Contribution toward visa costs
• Contribution toward installation costs
• Contribution toward subsistence costs
• The scholarship is awarded to eligible full-time students for the duration of the programme.

The programme also provides an international academic experience involving compulsory physical mobility. Students must complete study periods in at least two countries, with at least one being an EU Member State or associated country, and the countries must differ from the student’s country of residence at enrolment.

The official page lists 4 scholarships for candidates from Programme Countries, 8 targeted to Partner Countries and 4 for specified targeted regions. No more than 10% of the total scholarships may be awarded to candidates of the same nationality.

Who Can Apply?

Applicants must generally:

• Hold a Bachelor’s degree equivalent to at least 180 ECTS (EQF Level 6).
• Have studied a discipline relevant to humanitarian action, such as social sciences, humanities, law, economics and management, engineering, medical sciences, education or related fields.
• Demonstrate the required language proficiency for their selected university.
• Follow the joint NOHA application procedure.
• Submit the completed online application and all required documents by the applicable deadline.

For English-taught study, the official requirements include IELTS 6.5 overall with no component below 6.0, or the specified TOEFL/Cambridge qualifications. French and Spanish requirements apply where the applicant chooses universities or study periods requiring those languages.

For the Erasmus Mundus scholarship specifically, applicants must have completed their undergraduate degree by the scholarship application deadline. Applicants who have previously received an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s scholarship are not eligible for another EMJM scholarship.

Final Note from AK Travels LTD

The NOHA Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree is a specialised international programme for applicants interested in humanitarian action and related professional fields. Because the Erasmus Mundus scholarship is highly competitive and requires a complete application by 15 December 2026, prospective applicants should begin preparing their academic documents, references, proof of residence and language documentation well before the deadline.

Always review the official NOHA requirements before submitting your application, as university-specific admission requirements may also apply.
