The Erasmus scheme and study in Europe

Erasmus is the European Commission's flagship educational programme for students, lecturers and staff at higher education institutions. It was introduced with the aim of increasing student mobility within Europe. Erasmus, part of the European Union’s Lifelong Learning Programme, is the largest organised mobility programme in the world, known and respected throughout Europe. It has developed beyond an educational programme - it has acquired the status of a social and cultural phenomenon and gives many European university students their first chance to live and thrive abroad.

Two million higher education students in Europe have taken part in the programme since its introduction in 1987 and agree it was the best decision they ever made.

More information on Erasmus is available on the British Council website.
