Unique opportunities for staff and students to study abroad
2014-02-27

The Office for International Affairs held three  information sessions at the UFS Bloemfontein Campus. The Erasmus Mundus EU-Saturn scholarship and the EUROSA programme offer postgraduate students and staff a unique opportunity to study abroad. These include fully-funded master’s, PhD and staff exchange/training programmes across various academic disciplines, ranging from one to twenty-two months in length.

A visiting team from Belgium took more than 25 UFS students and staff who attended the session through an interactive demonstration of the online application process. Participants also engaged with alumni who shared their experiences at universities in the Netherlands and Italy where they studied in the 2013 academic year.

For more information on the programmes, please visit www.eusaturn.eu and www.eurosa.be or contact Sulet du Plessis at the Office for International Affairs on +27(0)51 401 3397 or email duplessiss@ufs.ac.za.
