Brac University Alumnus Hasibul Hasan Ahmed Secures Erasmus Mundus Scholarship for Top-Ranked MESPOM Environmental Science Program

Hasibul Hasan Ahmed, a distinguished alumnus and current coordinator of the Social Impact Lab at Brac University, has been awarded the prestigious Erasmus Mundus Scholarship to join the globally renowned MESPOM (master’s in environmental sciences, policy and management) program.

The Erasmus Mundus MESPOM program is recognized as one of the world’s leading master’s degrees in the field of environmental science and sustainability policy. In 2025, the program maintained an incredibly selective admission rate—accepting only 22 students from over 2,000 applicants, making the acceptance rate just 1.1%.

MESPOM is a joint program hosted by four top-tier European institutions:

  • Central European University (CEU)
  • Lund University (Sweden) – Ranked 3rd globally in Environmental Sciences (QS Rankings)
  • The University of Manchester (UK) – Ranked 9th globally in the same category
  • The University of the Aegean (Greece)

Hasibul’s achievement reflects not only his personal dedication to environmental policy and sustainable development, but also highlights Brac University’s growing international reputation for academic excellence, leadership, and innovation in the field of climate action and social impact.

This milestone showcases how Brac University continues to empower changemakers committed to solving the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.

CYBERUS Erasmus Mundus Master in Cybersecurity

Cyberattacks, such as ransomware, malware, phishing, web-based and web application attacks, distributed denial of service (DDoS), identity theft, data breaches, botnets, and cyberespionage, have become more sophisticated and often combined to carry out crime, sabotage, espionage, and destabilization. In 2020, there were more connections of IoT objects and equipment than non-IoT terminals, making protecting them urgent. Modern computing systems are vulnerable from computational and storage perspectives, and performance optimizations in IoT and software systems can expose them to attacks and leak critical information.

To address these cybersecurity threats, the CYBERUS Erasmus Mundus Master in Cybersecurity (CYBERUS) is a joint response by Université Bretagne Sud – UBS (Lorient, France), Université du Luxembourg – UL (Luxembourg), Université Libre de Bruxelles – ULB (Brussels, Belgium), Tallinn University of Technology – TalTech (Tallinn, Estonia) and around 50 universities, research centers, state agencies, companies, and business clusters worldwide. The program offers two tracks – IoT cybersecurity and Sofware Cybersecurity – and includes compulsory international mobility.

CYBERUS has been selected for funding by the EU to be an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD), a prestigious, integrated, international study program aimed at enhancing the attractiveness and excellence of European higher education in the world and attracting talent to Europe. The program includes institutional academic cooperation to showcase European excellence in higher education and individual mobility for all students participating in the EMJM, with EU-funded scholarships for the best applicants.
