About Erasmus

What is Erasmus?

Erasmus is an exchange system set up by the EU to enable students from different countries to study in other universities abroad. Anyone can take part in it, provided they have completed at least one year of their degree programme and have not been on an Erasmus placement before. Students spend from 3 months to a year abroad and receive support and funding from Erasmus.
