Kathmandu, 5 August: The Delegation of the European Union to Nepal together with the Erasmus Mundus Association Nepal organized a Pre-Departure Orientation (PDO) for the new scholarship recipients of Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) batch 2022-2024 on Thursday.
This year 60 Nepali students have received the scholarship, which is higher compared to last year when 49 students were awarded. The students have been awarded full scholarships for the period 2022-2024 and they will spend two years fulltime in prestigious European universities to pursue their Master’s Degrees in various fields, according to a press statement issued by the EU Delegation to Nepal.
Some of the field of studies for which the students have been awarded are soils and global change, flood risk management, urban climate and sustainability, forestry and natural resources management, media and communication and vaccinology education. All the subjects go well with Nepal’s needs for trained human resources.
EU Ambassador to Nepal Nona Deprez observed, “We hope that these scholarships will help these students to further excel and that they will return to Nepal with enhanced skills and knowledge useful for the country and themselves, as well as with fond memories of Europe.” More than 800 Nepalese students have benefitted from the EU’s Erasmus Scholarship Programme so far.
