Universidad Autónoma de Madrid

What you'll study

Course content depends on the specific joint master within the Erasmus Mundus catalogue. Examples listed by the university include:

• Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Artificial Intelligence for Image Processing and Computer Vision (IPCV) — a two-year programme delivered across three European universities that trains specialists in image and video processing with applications in medicine, surveillance, industrial control, remote sensing, e-commerce and automation, offering both theoretical and hands-on instruction in the field.
• TCCM: European Master in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling — a multidisciplinary joint master designed by a consortium of nine universities across five EU countries (Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and France), covering topics such as molecular biology, biochemistry, materials science, chemical kinetics, spectroscopy, astrochemistry and environmental chemistry.

Entry requirements

Entry into an Erasmus Mundus joint master follows the admission rules of the specific programme and consortium. To be eligible for Erasmus Mundus financial assistance a candidate must first gain admission to the chosen joint master and subsequently be selected in the programme’s scholarship competition. Application to the Erasmus Mundus calls is managed by higher-education institutions through the programme actions (Lot 1: Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters — EMJM; Lot 2: Erasmus Mundus Design Measures — EMDM).

Career prospects

Graduates from Erasmus Mundus joint masters typically enter specialised international careers aligned with their programme’s focus. Examples from the programmes noted at UAM include roles in computer vision and image-processing fields (healthcare imaging, industrial automation, remote sensing, security, e-commerce) for IPCV graduates, and research or industry positions requiring theoretical chemistry and computational modelling skills for TCCM alumni.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

The Erasmus Mundus programme awards full scholarships to top-ranked students worldwide; however, scholarship allocation requires two steps: admission to the joint master and selection for the Erasmus Mundus grant. Call information and deadlines are published centrally (for example, the call for 2026 lists 13 February 2026 as a deadline). Institutions submit proposals to the Erasmus Mundus actions and detailed funding information is available via the European Commission’s Funding & Tenders portal.
