Outgoing ERASMUS Students

Erasmus opportunities

As a student at London Metropolitan University, an opportunity exists to study for part of your degree in another European country.

Erasmus is part of the European Union Life Long Learning Programme for co-operation in the field of education. Under Erasmus London Metropolitan University has student exchange agreements with 30 partners in 14 European countries.

From your second year of study onwards, you can spend one or two semesters (academic year) studying at one of the University's partner institutions. The period abroad will be fully accredited towards your final degree and no fee will be charged by the host institution during your stay.

As an initiative to encourage student mobility, eligible students will receive an Erasmus grant of approximately €225 per month of stay in 2011/12.

First year students

First year students: although you are not eligible to participate in the Erasmus programme until your second year, now is a good time to research your opportunities abroad. You can apply while in your first year for second year participation. Planning ahead is highly recommended as for some of our partner universities you will require a reasonable knowledge of their native language. You may want to take advantage of London Metropolitan University's Open Language Programme to brush up on your foreign language skills.

2012/13 academic year

From September 2012 most modules at LondonMet will be year-long. This may affect your opportunity to study abroad for one semester only. Students in their final year must spend the last semester at LondonMet so unless the faculty is very cooperative it would be dangerous to go abroad in the first semester of your final year.

Students hoping to go abroad for one semester in their second year should speak to their PAA about the modules that will be on offer for one semester only (if any) and if it would be possible to incorporate one semester Erasmus into their degree programme.

The easiest scenario is for students to go abroad for a full academic year in the second year of a three year degree or the third year of a four year language degree.
