Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) Programmes coordinated by the University of Glasgow received a warm welcome from the City of Glasgow at a Civic Reception held at the grand Glasgow City Chambers, George Square, Glasgow on Tuesday 20 September.
Lord Provost, Jacqueline McLaren opened the ceremony to welcome the students, followed by a speech from Sara Carter, Head of College of Social Sciences.
Afterwards, the EUROSUD students had the opportunity to mingle with other Erasmus students from all eleven EMJMD programmes that are coordinated by the University of Glasgow, over drinks and canapes.
There was a professional photographer to capture some special moments including a photograph of each programme with their fellow students and staff for future memories.
EUROSUD INDUCTION 2022-24 Cohort 4
The EUROSUD International Master in South European Studies Induction took place on week beginning Monday 12 September. A variety of events took place over the week, both online and in-person, including College of Social Sciences Employability Team, Erasmus Mundus Association (EMA), Student Support Officers, Counselling and Psychological Services, Library Session, who provided as an introduction to the services on offer at the University of Glasgow for students and to introduce them to the various teams.
The Thursday session, for students to meet the EUROSUD team took place in the morning. Staff were delighted to meet the students in person for the first time. The afternoon session was via Zoom, and involved the EUROSUD Partners: National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), Greece, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), Spain, Aix-Marseille Université (AMU), France and LUISS Guido Carli, Rome, Italy. The students met the partners from each Institution for their Semesters 2, 3 and 4 pathways in break-out rooms, which gave them the opportunity to ask questions about their chosen pathways.
Thursday evening was the EUROSUD social event, which took place in the CCA – The Centre for Contemporary Arts: Saramago Café Bar in the City Centre. Professor Tsakatika joked with the students that the food was vegan, although there were plenty of burger places to eat in the city if they needed meat afterwards! However the food went down a treat with everyone saying it was very good, perhaps one or two converted meat eaters! The night was lovely and everyone got to meet, chat, eat and drink in a lovely environment.
The programme is excited to welcome the students to Glasgow for a great first semester!
