An article in University World News discusses the impact of the Erasmus Mundus program. "Since 2004, the European Union has funded 138 Erasmus Mundus joint masters courses and 43 joint doctoral programmes involving almost 700 universities and more than 16,000 students, PhD candidates, and scholars. Independent evaluations have found that these joint degrees have had considerable added value for alumni when searching for employment."
