The
European Higher Education Virtual Fair 2021 will provide Indian students
an opportunity to interact with world-class institutions available in
Europe and help with practical steps on how to
get admission into one of these. H.E. Ugo ASTUTO, Ambassador of the European Union to India,
said, “Choosing the Country, University and the course for
pursuing higher education is a key decision. The EHEVF brings together
the EU, its Member States, universities and education organisations on
one platform, making it easier for students to gain
insights into the European higher education landscape and to take an
informed decision.” He added, “The mobility of students is a critical
aspect of people-to-people contacts, strengthening connectivity between
the EU and India through academic and cultural
exchanges.”
The EU is the world’s
leading destination for higher education accounting for 25% of the
world’s top 200 Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) in the world[1].
A wide range of courses are available in the EU across different
disciplines from traditional to cutting edge frontiers of knowledge.
In 2019, about 70,000 Indian students were studying in the EU for various degrees (UG, PG, and PhD).
Besides the high academic
standards in Europe, foreign students also stand to gain rich cultural
experience due to Europe’s cultural and linguistic diversity.
Under the EU flagship programme Erasmus+, out of the 2,756 Erasmus Mundus scholarship awardees worldwide in 2021,
153 Indian students have been awarded this prestigious scholarships. With this, India
ranks first for the second consecutive year among 167 countries.
