Erasmus Mundus

The Erasmus Mundus programme is a co-operation and mobility programme in the field of higher education which promotes the European Union as a centre of excellence in learning around the world. It supports European top-quality Masters Courses and enhances the visibility and attractiveness of European higher education in third countries. It also provides EU-funded scholarships for third country nationals participating in these Masters Courses, as well as scholarships for EU-nationals studying in third countries.

The primary aim of the Euroculture programme is to prepare graduates from Europe and third-countries for professions in which knowledge of present Europe and European Union institutions are of relevance. It also aims to create projects and joints ventures between EU and third countries. The focus of the programme is on cultural and social developments: its inheritance as well as its standards, values and citizenship.

The programme teaches students the methods and skills required to identify the European dimensions of social problems, to collect and process relevant information of European institutions and organisations and to reflect on the cultural aspects and factors that play a role in the process of European identity formation and European integration.

The objective of the Erasmus Mundus Master in Adapted Physical Activity programme is to combine the competencies of a number of European universities in order to offer the students a comprehensive training and adequate knowledge in the many aspects of Adapted Physical Activity (APA).

Under Action 3 of the call for proposals for Erasmus Mundus projects, a partnership between the Erasmus Mundus Consortium (Olomouc, Oslo, Limerick and Leuven) and 3 third-country partner universities is established. The third-country partner universities are the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa, the University of Queensland in Australia and the University of Virginia in the United States.
