Employability - Erasmus students can show that they have the qualities that employers look for. They are not afraid to take on challenges. They can successfully adapt to new environments. They show flexibility. They can build relations with people from different cultural backgrounds. And of course, most can use another European language.

Recognition - Erasmus study is fully recognised by the home institution as part of the degree. Because Erasmus is well known and respected throughout Europe, employers will also appreciate the value of the experience.

Student life - Learn what it means to be a student in another European country. You will find there are similarities with life in your country, but you will be surprised at the differences. Through Erasmus, you will gain a new perspective of your subject area by experiencing how it is taught in a different country.

Maturity - Living and studying in a country you do not know well is a challenge. You will find yourself facing new situations and unexpected problems. Overcoming these obstacles and learning to manage your life within another culture brings maturity, confidence and self-reliance.

Understanding - Living in a foreign country is completely different to being a tourist. It is about discovering and understanding a new way of life, learning to communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds. These are important interpersonal, life and employment skills, employers value them highly. Erasmus can help do develop theses skills.

Satisfaction - Setting into a new culture is not always easy but once you have overcome the initial obstacles, you will have lots of fun, meet many wonderful people, gain new skills. Taking part in Erasmus is an achievement to be proud of and a highly rewarding experience.
