Abstract:
The objective of this analysis is to comprehensively evaluate the impact of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree (EMJM) program on the educational and professional outcomes of Bangladeshi participants. This study aims to determine the annual number of scholarships awarded to Bangladeshi students, identifying trends and assessing the accessibility of the program for applicants from the region. Additionally, it seeks to examine the job placement ratio of EMJM graduates, focusing on their integration into various industries and sectors, both in Bangladesh and abroad, and highlighting the program’s contribution to enhancing their employability and career progression. A critical aspect of the analysis involves exploring the broader impact of the program, including the development of academic skills, intercultural competencies, and global networks, while also considering its influence on personal growth. Furthermore, the study aims to assess the retention and return ratio, analyzing the proportion of Bangladeshi graduates who choose to stay in Europe versus those who return home, and exploring the motivations and challenges underlying these decisions. By addressing these dimensions, the analysis intends to provide actionable insights for stakeholders, including policymakers and academic institutions, to optimize the program's benefits for Bangladeshi students, foster international collaboration, and align the outcomes with national development priorities.
