In the academic year 2009-2010, the European Union (EU) will fund for 36 Cambodian students and academic staffs to study and teach in Europe under European Commission’s Erasmus Mundus scholarship programme. Remarkably, the number of students is 7 times higher than the previous year which only 5 students were awarded the scholarship through Erasmus Mundus Master Courses. The year 2009 is the second phase of the EU Erasmus Mundus scholarship programme which not only supports the master degree programme but also undergraduate, graduate, doctorate, and post-doctorate levels. Under the new program called “Erasmus Mundus Mobility for Regional Asia” (EMMA), Cambodian students and academic staffs are given a chance to study and teach at European universities in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain and Turkey.
