Erasmus+ study abroad

What's it all about?

Erasmus+ is the EU programme for education, training, youth and sport. One of its aims is to boost the skills and employability of university students by taking your studies overseas for between three and twelve months. It’s your chance to continue your course in a new environment and experience a different culture while you’re at it. You can take your pick from any one of 32 countries in Europe, with whom your university or college has an agreement and most students receive a grant to help cover the cost of living. So whether you fancy brushing up your languages, meeting up with new people or just immersing yourself in a completely new culture, Erasmus+ will have something to suit you.

Can I apply?

If this sounds like something you’re interested in, then you need to make sure you’re eligible to apply. Erasmus+courses are available to anyone who is studying for a degree or recognised tertiary level qualification, at an institution such as a university or college with an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education and in their second year or more of study. You can also apply if you’re taking a short-term higher vocational course, or studying part-time, providing you’re willing to study full-time when abroad.

What countries are involved?

Besides the UK there are 32 countries working with Erasmus+. They are: Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden, Macedonia, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway and Turkey.

How much will it cost?

The cost of living abroad can vary massively depending on the country you choose to visit, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be left out of pocket. Eligible Erasmus+ students could receive a grant of between €250 – €300 a month to contribute towards accommodation and living expenses, and that’s on top of any existing grants or loans that are in place
