Erasmus offers a great opportunity for academic and administrative staff to teach or work elsewhere in one of the 30 other participating countries in Europe. You can get to know first-hand the workings of another European educational system, learn new ideas and discover best practices to take back to UK. So don’t let the students be the only ones to benefit! Develop your international network and enhance your language skills too.
Mobility can be undertaken by staff at a Higher Education or HE/FE Institution which holds an Erasmus University Charter (EUC) to another HEI which holds an EUC and with which your institution has an Inter-institutional Agreement. The recommended minimum duration for teaching assignments is five days and they may not exceed a maximum of six weeks. Teaching assignments shorter than the recommended period must include at least five teaching hours.
Funding is available for all subject areas. To be eligible you must be a national of a participating country or recognised by your country of residence as a refugee, stateless person or permanent resident.
Advice from staff who have taken part in Erasmus is to do it, do it as soon as possible and encourage your students to do it!
Staff training is an option for non-teaching staff who want to take part in the Erasmus programme. This is an option if you are:
- Going to another HEI which holds an EUC
- Going to an enterprise
Within the broad objectives of staff training it encompasses things such as short secondments, job-shadowing and study visits. To be eligible you must be a national of a participating country or recognised by your country of residence as a refugee, stateless person or permanent resident.
Staff from enterprises in another participating country can receive funding for a teaching visit to a UK institution.
