55 Bangladeshi students to attend Erasmus Mundus scholarship

European Union head of delegation to Bangladesh, ambassador Rensje Teerink hosted a pre-departure event on Tuesday for the 55 Bangladeshi students who received the Erasmus+ scholarship this year, a press release of the delegation said.  

These 55 Bangladeshi students will benefit from an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree scholarship under the Erasmus+ programme.

"Erasmus+ helps its beneficiaries build resilience, adapt to the changing global environment, seize new opportunities and make the most of their talents. The programme creates positive experiences of collaboration and mutual learning among people from different cultural, social and economic backgrounds,” Rensje Teerink said at the event.

She also said that evidence has shown that participants experience and develop an understanding of European values, in particular solidarity and tolerance. 

This is the most prestigious study programme Erasmus+ has to offer, full-degree scholarships are funded and the beneficiaries are awarded a joint, double degree, or multiple degrees, upon their graduation.

The 55 Bangladeshi students have been selected to study in numerous European cities for completing Masters or Doctorates enrolling in different areas such as environmental sciences, nanochemistry, educational studies, economics, food science, health, IT, law and development studies.

Representatives of EU Member States diplomatic missions and Honorary Consulates took part in the event.
