Students from all subject areas can participate, from art to zoology, biology to psychology – please check your home institution as not all offer Erasmus with all subjects. If you are still at school and haven’t yet decided on your Higher Education Institution(HEI) and course, it’s very important that you do your homework first to ensure you don’t miss out on Erasmus once you get to your HEI – so check with your chosen UK Institution first before enrolling.
You can take part in Erasmus study mobility at any time during your degree, except during the first year. When you go will depend on the structure of your degree and the arrangements your university has with its partners.
You can go for just three months, or stay the whole year. In general though, the longer the study period the better. It enables you to adjust fully to life in another country, to get to know the staff and students and the area or region in which you are living, and of course develop your language skills.
Being an Erasmus student is an experience that will stay with you for life. As well as improving your language skills and your CV, your Erasmus experience will really help you to stand out in the job market, not to mention give you a great network of friends and some fantastic travel opportunities. All eligible Erasmus students also receive a grant to help towards the costs of moving to another country and living abroad, read more on our funding page about current grant rates.
In order to take part in the programme, you must be:
Formally registered at an HEI in order to follow higher education studies leading to a recognised degree or other recognised tertiary level qualification up to and including the level of doctorate. The HEI must hold an Erasmus University Charter
or
Enrolled in a short term higher vocational education course, which includes foundation degree courses
Part-time students can also participate providing you study full-time during your period abroad.
