About & Data Sources
How this data was collected, and what it does not cover
Accuracy matters more than completeness here. This page reports exactly how far the research got, how each fact entered the dataset and what still needs checking.
Known limitations (research date: 22 Oct 2026)
The catalogue here is the official Erasmus Mundus catalogue's joint masters that take students in 2027, checked live on 24 Oct 2026: 192 of its 218 entries. Joint masters that have announced no 2027 intake, and the Intra-Africa mobility projects, are left out. It also shows 11 programmes selected for EU funding in 2026 that the official catalogue does not list yet; each is labelled as such. Other selected programmes, and programmes no longer listed, are listed below with the reason.
Programme pages were checked live on 9 Nov 2026. We fetched the 1073 official pages the profiles cite (978 were readable; the rest refused automated access, were missing, under maintenance or unreachable) and looked for every captured date on them: 362 dates were found on the official site and 45 were not. Earlier facts were captured through a search engine's index of official pages and are labelled that way. No profile is marked “reviewed” yet, because that needs every fact of a profile confirmed on live pages.
Research is incomplete. 0 records have no official programme page captured (newly selected programmes whose sites are not online yet), and many 2027 calls had not been published on the research date.

Status as recorded on the research date. The catalogue shows an opening as “open” once its captured opening date has passed.
Rules the dataset follows
- Three statuses are kept apart: catalogue presence, scholarship availability for a specific intake, and the state of the application cycle. None is inferred from another.
- Every programme-specific requirement, deadline and definitive scholarship status cites an official source (programme, university, EU, or an official PDF). A build-time validator rejects the dataset otherwise.
- Third-party sites are used only to discover programme names. They are never cited as evidence.
- Unknown values stay unknown and are shown as “Not publicly specified in the sources verified.” No score, date, fee or document is guessed.
- Each intake is a separate cycle record, so a 2026 deadline is never presented as a 2027 deadline.
- Conflicts between official sources are listed on the profile with both versions.

How the data is refreshed
- Fetch the live catalogue and its filters, then reconcile it with the inventory (new, removed and renamed entries, changed links) and review the matches.
- Queue changed and unresearched programmes; research each on its official admissions page for the new intake.
- Add a new cycle record for the new intake rather than overwriting the previous one.
- Re-run validation and rebuild the dataset, then publish the change report.
The scripts and the full procedure are documented in the repository (docs/UPDATE_PROCESS.md).
Routes and map data
City coordinates come from Natural Earth (public domain) and, where Natural Earth has no match, from GeoNames. Contains data from GeoNames (www.geonames.org), licensed under CC BY 4.0. The globe's country outlines are made with Natural Earth (public domain), and the flags come from flag-icons (MIT licence). The Map link beside each university opens OpenStreetMap; one city (Kalady, India) is placed with OpenStreetMap data, © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).
Independence
Mundus Masterplan is not affiliated with the European Commission, EACEA or any Erasmus Mundus consortium. It does not charge for applications and cannot influence selection. Official programme instructions always take precedence. See the guide to spotting scams.
