Introduction and Background
Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are the European Union's flagship fully funded scholarships: full tuition, a monthly allowance of €1,400 for up to 24 months (up to €33,600), plus insurance — and Pakistani students are explicitly eligible as "partner country" nationals on every program below. If you are looking for Erasmus Mundus scholarships 2027 for Pakistani students, these are four real consortium programs with officially open applications right now, verified today, 22 October 2026: Mundus MAPP (public policy, financial-aid deadline 1 December 2026), NOHA (humanitarian action, 15 December 2026), PlantHealth (sustainable crop systems, 31 December 2026), and GEM (geo-information science, 15 January 2027).
These are different programs from the Erasmus Mundus ILSPSD post already published on this blog — no duplication. Everything below is written fresh from the official consortium pages; nothing is copied from any aggregator. The programs are ordered by deadline, soonest first.
None of the three programmes charges an application fee. GEM: no application fee (deadline 15 Jan 2027, 23:59 CET; €1,400/month). NOHA: no application fee is listed in the official application system — apply at apply.nohanet.org; scholarship applications close 15 December 2026, 23:59 GMT. Note: self-funded NOHA students pay participation fees of €4,000/semester (€16,000 total) — a tuition/participation fee, not an application fee. PlantHealth: no application fee is listed on the official site — first call 1 October–31 December 2026 (online application before 1 January 2027, 00:00 CET); second round 20 May–15 June 2027 is self-funded only.
1. Mundus MAPP — Public Policy (CEU, IBEI Barcelona, York, ISS The Hague)
Mundus MAPP is the Erasmus Mundus master's in public policy, run by Central European University (Vienna), IBEI Barcelona, the University of York, and ISS The Hague. Its official financial-aid page states the critical date verbatim: "December 1, 2026: deadline for applicants who wish to apply for financial aid." Later self-funded deadlines (April and July 2027) exist — but for the scholarship, 1 December 2026 is the real deadline.
Deadline: 1 December 2026 (financial-aid/scholarship applicants).
Benefits: Erasmus Mundus Joint Master scholarship "calculated on the basis of a monthly unit cost of 1400 EUR/month… maximum 33 600 Euros (24 months)" plus a full tuition-fee waiver and health insurance. Honest exclusions on the official page: the study visit (€600–1,000), the winter school (€600–1,000), and home-country travel/visa are NOT covered.
Eligibility: Recognised Bachelor's degree of at least 3 years; Upper Second class (2.1) or GPA 3.17/4.0 or equivalent; social-sciences background (natural sciences and engineering graduates are NOT eligible); English proficiency proven by an accepted test (Pakistan is not on the exemption list, so Pakistani applicants take a test); compulsory physical mobility in two countries; no previous Erasmus Mundus Joint Master scholarship. Open to EU and non-EU nationals, including Pakistanis.
How to apply: Apply through the official Mundus MAPP admissions portal, selecting one of the four tracks (CEU–IBEI Vienna–Barcelona, CEU–York, ISS–IBEI, ISS–York). Submit your degree documents, English test certificate, and the required essays/statements before the 1 December financial-aid deadline — self-funded applications can follow later, but the scholarship cannot.
Program dates: September 2027 entry, two years across two European countries.
There is no application fee for Mundus MAPP itself — you do not pay the CEU application fee unless you also apply to other CEU programmes.
2. NOHA+ International Humanitarian Action (9 European Universities)
NOHA is the Network on Humanitarian Action's Erasmus Mundus master's — the world's leading degree in humanitarian action, run by a consortium of 9 European universities (including Deusto, Groningen, Uppsala, University College Dublin, Bochum, Aix-Marseille, Malta, Warsaw, and Vilnius) plus 11 global partners. The official application portal states: "You will be able to apply for scholarship only between 1 October 2026 and 15 December 2026."

Benefits: Standard Erasmus Mundus Joint Master terms — approximately €1,400/month for up to 24 months (maximum €33,600), participation costs covered, insurance, and travel/visa support. Scholarships are available for both Programme and Partner countries — Pakistani applicants are eligible.
Eligibility:

4. GEM — Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (2027–2029)

The official application-procedure page states: "Applications must be submitted through the online application portal no later than: 15 January 2027 (23:59 CET)." The portal opened 1 October 2026 and results are announced 31 March 2027.
Deadline: 15 January 2027, 23:59 CET.

The earliest real deadline is Mundus MAPP's 1 December financial-aid cutoff — only five weeks away — so if public policy is your field, that application comes first. NOHA and PlantHealth close mid-to-late December, and GEM gives you until 15 January. Pick the program that matches your degree, prepare your documents this week, and apply while every one of these windows is still open.
