This will give a new turn to their bilateral partnership.

This committee selects students from across the globe; in some countries, the quota has not been defined for selection. Several Erasmus students get their degrees in different disciplines from European Union EU under this program every year, which is increasing.

This year around 100 students were selected from Pakistan under the Erasmus Mundus Pakistan Program under the EU flagship to study in Europe. Through this program, many Pakistani students are engaged in computer science, archaeology communication, engineering, applied sciences, and robotics.
