Erasmus Overseas Placement Scheme: To Travel Is To Learn
Travelling and experiencing new cultures is the best way to learn. We understand and realise the importance of learning through travel, and hence we encourage and support students to take a journey outside the country and get exposure to exotic cultures and workplaces.
The Erasmus Scheme provides funding to UK organisations to unlock life-changing experiences across the world for their students. Colleges apply for funding for projects on behalf of their students.
Participating in an Erasmus placement gives our students the chance to develop new skills, gain vital international experience and boost employability. Students can also develop professional practice, a wide range of soft skills, and language skills. They also build relationships with international peers and gain fresh ideas and a better understanding of other cultures.
