Erasmus + Programme is a European Union umbrella programme in the field of education, training, youth, and sports. Within this programme, the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Degrees aim to enhance the quality of European higher education and to help promote dialogue and understanding between people and cultures through cooperation with Third-Countries such as the United Republic of Tanzania. The international dimension of Erasmus+ contributes to the development of human resources and the international cooperation capacity of Higher education institutions in Third Countries by increasing mobility and cooperation between the European Union and these countries.

Ethiopia is one of the top beneficiary countries of the Erasmus programme. Since 2004, Ethiopia is one of the top 5 performing countries in the world and top in Africa both in terms of student selection and application in the Erasmus Scholarship programme. In 2020, 45 Ethiopian students selected as winners of Erasmus+ EU Scholarship in Masters Degree. In the last 10 years (2010-2019), the European Union awarded the Erasmus Mundes Scholarship for 425 Ethiopian students.

The Erasmus + Programme launched in 2014 and provides support through scholarships and academic cooperation to: 

• Higher education institutions that wish to implement joint programmes at postgraduate level or to set up inter-institutional cooperation partnerships between universities from Europe and targeted Third-Countries. 
• Individual students, researchers and university staff who wish to spend a study, research, or teaching period in the context of one of the above mentioned programmes.  

In the field of higher education, Erasmus+ supports the following main Actions targeting cooperation with Third Countries (also called Partner Countries): 

• International credit mobility of individuals and Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees, promoting the mobility of learners and staff from and to Partner Countries.
• Many opportunities are also offered to doctoral candidates and researchers through the Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions.
