Through this programme, which is funded by the European Union, young students from outside Europe have the unique opportunity to pursue a master’s degree at various universities across Europe. To mark the great achievement of the young and aspiring students, Anne Marchal, chargé d’affaires of the EU Delegation to Pakistan, hosted a pre-departure briefing session and reception for the successful candidates.
Speaking to the students, Anne Marchal said: “At the heart of Erasmus+ is the belief that education will shape the society we live in. By bringing people from different backgrounds together, Erasmus+ helps to build open, tolerant societies – something that is today more vital than ever.”
She thanked the students for choosing to study in Europe saying, “You are now part of a big family of students from around the world.”
