Erasmus+ Exchange in China and India in 2018/19

Erasmus+ and QMUL logosErasmus+ is the EU's 2014-2020 programme for boosting skills and employability through education, training, youth and sport. Queen Mary University of London participates in the Erasmus+ Programme and can supply funding to a limited number of students for study placements in certain countries outside of Europe. QMUL undergraduate students in the School of Law can apply to complete a year abroad in China or India through the International Credit Mobility Programme (ICM) under Erasmus+.

This is an excellent opportunity to study at a prestigious academic partner in Law outside of the UK, personalise your Law degree with niche international experience in China or India, boost your employability and give your future career a competitive edge through a life-changing experience.

Why take part?

There are many reasons and some of them will be personal to you:

  • Gaining and improving a range of skills that are desirable to employers, including communication across cultural boundaries, self-management, independence, confidence, adaptability and self-reliance,
  • Developing a global and cultural outlook, a quality highly sought-after by current employers,
  • Building up a network of valuable contacts,
  • Improving your (existing) language skills.

How and when to apply?
