Mustapha Kamara and Amina Bangura will commence their Masters Programmes in Germany, while Alhaji Alusine Kebe and Henry Gibrilla will start their programmes in Hungary and Lithuania, respectively. These students are poised to embark on a journey that promises to expand their horizons and deepen their academic and cultural experiences in Europe.

The students engaged in dialogues with the Ambassadors and the Ministry’s Focal Point, sharing their aspirations and their visions for contributing to Sierra Leone’s development upon their return.

Ambassador Manuel Muller remarked, "The Erasmus Mundus scholarships represent an opportunity not only for academic growth, but also to strengthen intercultural understanding between Europe and Sierra Leone. We are proud of these outstanding students, and confident that they will contribute significantly to their fields of study and bring back valuable knowledge and experience to Sierra Leone."

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters’ Degree is an EU international study programme that allows undergraduate students around the world to pursue University studies and obtain a joint Master degree or multiple Master degrees from Universities in at least two countries in Europe. Calls for applications are open between October and February every year.
