There's no official ranking of Erasmus Mundus programmes, and you shouldn't trust anyone who claims one. This is a shortlist grouped by focus, to help you start your own comparison using the framework in MESPOM vs Other Environmental Joint Masters.
Environmental policy and management
- MESPOM (Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management): broad science-plus-policy, a strong fit for people bridging technical work and governance. My deep dive: MESPOM Programme Guide.
Environmental technology and engineering
- IMETE (International Master of Science in Environmental Technology and Engineering): technical focus on environmental engineering and technology.
Water, coasts, and oceans
- CoMEM (Coastal and Marine Engineering and Management): coastal engineering and management.
- WACOMA (Water and Coastal Management): integrated water and coastal management.
Earth observation and geospatial
- Copernicus Master in Digital Earth (CDE): geospatial data science and earth observation, a good fit for engineers interested in remote sensing.
How to choose
Score each on course fit, mobility path, thesis options, methods, network, and eligibility. And check:
- Joint or multiple degree?
- Language requirements for each country
- Entry requirements in your field
- Scholarship cap: how many programmes you can apply to for funding
