151 Students From Bangladesh Have Been Awarded Erasmus+ Scholarships for 2022-23
The Delegation also greeted these students by wishing them “Congratulations and good luck!”, AtoZSerwisPlus.comreports.
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters programme offers fully funded scholarships where beneficiaries are awarded joint, double, or multiple degrees upon graduation.
Bangladesh is ranked third this year in terms of the number of the highest scholarships awarded.
Bangladeshi students who have won a scholarship are given the opportunity to study in various European cities to complete a Master’s degree in fields such as data science, engineering, climate change, gender studies, circular economy, public health, public policies, and human rights.
“A flagship programme like Erasmus+, with a strong external dimension that aims to promote people-to-people exchanges, can and should be a game-changer. The new, larger programme for the period 2021-2027 has an increased budget of €26.2 billion,” Chargé d’Affaires of EU Hans Lambrecht pointed out in this regard.
According to him, this enables the EU to support new initiatives and, at the same time, attract an even greater number of participants. Lambrecht also added that both in Bangladesh and around the world, the demand for highly skilled and socially engaged people is increasing.
In addition, he asserted that Erasmus+ helps Bangladeshi beneficiaries to be the link between Europe and Bangladesh.
Previously, the Delegation of the European Union in Nepal announced that it had awarded 60 scholarships to Nepali students this year, thus revealing that this number is higher than last year when 49 students received such a scholarship.
Through a statement, the EU delegation in this country emphasized that the students who were awarded the scholarship are valid for the entire period 2022-2024, and they will also spend two years full-time in prestigious European Universities to pursue Master’s Degrees in several different fields.
Regarding the high number of scholarships awarded this year, South Asian countries are ranked high. In addition, compared to the number of Erasmus scholarships awarded in the region, Nepal ranks fourth in South Asia and is among the top 20 in all regions.
Moreover, on July 13, 161 Indian students, of whom 88 were women, were also awarded the prestigious Erasmus Mundus Scholarship for degree programs starting in the academic year 2022-23.
