Erasmus+ Programme
Erasmus+ programme information for students and staff going abroad in 2027-28
What is Erasmus+?
Erasmus+ is the European Union’s programme for education, training, youth and sport.
GO are pleased to confirm the acceptance of our Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE). This means we are able to access funding for Students and Staff to learn, teach or undertake a professional placement abroad.
Turing funding is available for students going abroad in 2026-27. The UK will re-join the Erasmus+ programme for 2027-28.
The majority of funding is for eligible students/staff going abroad to our partner institutions in 'member states' and 'third countries associated with the programme'. There may be a small amount of funding available to go to non-European countries

How to apply

We will email all students (likely around April) to formally notify you of eligibility. We know situations can change, and will continue to assess and monitor eligibility prior to placements starting.
