ACTION 2: ERASMUS MUNDUS PARTNERSHIPS
• Action 2 are different then action 1 program in the following ways:
– Unlike Action 1 where we call Erasmus Mundus master course, we call action 2 opportunities as
Erasmus Mundus partnerships.

– They may be full degree programs but also are short term exchanges for 1/2/3 semesters.

– Bachelor, master, PhD all students can apply to them. Also staff members in universities can apply.

– There is no mobility involved. Usually a student studies only in one university when he/she comes to
Europe on an action 2 project.

– There is no limit on number of applications as opposed to EM Action 1.
