Staff Opportunities with Erasmus

By taking part in the Erasmus programme, staff at higher education institutions 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.  You will also develop your international networks and possibly enhance your language skills.

Teaching staff
The recommended minimum duration for teaching assignments is five days and can 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.

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!

Non-teaching staff
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. Staff from enterprises in another participating country can receive funding for a teaching visit to a UK institution.

Eligibility
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.
