Erasmus+ is a European Union-funded programme which could enable you to spend part of your higher education studies in another European country.
Erasmus+ provides grants for international study to students on the following courses.
-
Medicine MBBS and Medicine MBBS (graduate entry): during the final year elective period, you can apply for grants of approximately 470 to 520 euros per month (depending on year and destination). The elective must take place in an eligible country and run for a minimum of eight weeks.

These agreements allow MSci Biomedical Science students to conduct a research project in one of the research groups at these universities. We also have various agreements that allow students from different disciplines secure a traineeship at a partner university for a minimum of eight weeks.
