Erasmus+ at a glanceOpportunities for Individuals During the last thirty years the EU has funded the Erasmus program , which has enabled over three million European students to spend part of their studies at another higher education institution or with an organization in Europe. Erasmus+ brings such opportunities to all - students, staff, trainees, teachers, volunteers and more. It's not just about Europe or Europeans either - with Erasmus+, people from all over the world can access opportunities. Opportunities for: Students Studying abroad is a central part of Erasmus+ and has been shown to have a positive effect on later job prospects. It is also an opportunity to improve language skills, gain self-confidence and independence and immerse yourself in a new culture. Erasmus+ also offers the chance to combine studying abroad with a traineeship. Opportunities are available for students at Bachelor, Master or Doctoral levels.
