Erasmus+ Grants
You will be eligible for an Erasmus+ grant in Europe in 2021-22 to help with travel and living costs. An Erasmus+ grant is open to all, whatever your nationality and is available for study and work placements. However, it is uncertain whether funding under the Erasmus+ programme will be available in 2023-24 and beyond as it is subject to the outcome of the UK EU exit negotiations.
If you venture further afield outside of Europe, we offer our own Global Scholarships and Santander Universities Scholarships.
Wherever you choose to go, you will still be eligible to receive any grants or loans to which you normally receive from the student loan company and local authorities. Subject to household income, you can also receive a contribution to flights, visa costs and health insurance.
