What does the Erasmus+ programme offer students? (A) • The Erasmus+ Programme offers very concrete benefits: as an Erasmus student, students do not have to apply for admission independently; they do not pay tuition fees at your host university; and they receive an Erasmus grant . • A student exchange also gives an excellent opportunity to improve students ’ language skills . On an Erasmus exchange, you can study ‘ minor ’ European languages whose fluent speakers are always in demand. Completing a student exchange and gaining international experience will certainly be considered an advantage when students are looking for a job – any job .
What does the Erasmus+ programme offer students? (B) • An Erasmus exchange will open up many more new opportunities in life: it will increase readiness to work in an international setting , widen the world view, and help to better understand cultural differences . • The exchange will also give students a great opportunity to exchange ideas about students ’ field with other European students, take courses not offered at Home University, and experience another academic culture .
