Being a part of the IMRD family

Being an IMRD student or alumnus means more than being a specialist in rural development. You travel and live in different countries and experience different cultures. You learn to work with people from a variety of backgrounds. You face many challenges along the way, but create wonderful memories as well.

As an IMRD student or alumnus you can also be part of the Erasmus Mundus Students and Alumni Association (EMA). The EMA supports applicants, students and alumni of Erasmus Mundus programmes.
