Participation in Study in Europe Day

On the second of December the embassy participated in a fair at the language institute of Damascus University in Mezzeh. The fair was a collaboration between several EU-countries in promoting university studies in Europe.

Each participating member state informed in matters regarding application procedure to respective country's universities, study programs, scholarships as well as answering any other question posed by interested students.

Many students from various faculties came to the language institute to either speak directly to representatives from each country and/or take part in the numerous information sessions held throughout the day. The day as such was a great success.
