The Erasmus
The Erasmus Programme is an EU exchange student programme that has been in existence since the late 1980’s. Its purpose is to provide foreign exchange options for students from within the European Union and it involves many of the best universities and seats of learning on the continent.
How does the Erasmas Program work?
The programme is funded by many of the EU member nations and is aimed at cross-border cooperation between states to aid the growth of international studying, and with over 4000 students involved in the programme at any one time it offers an excellent chance of experience abroad.
Students can choose the length of time they spend abroad, with a minimum of three months recognised as the qualifying period, and the general idea behind Erasmus is to engender the sharing of languages throughout the EU states. It is a successful programme that is well used and popular.
