Erasmus and Study Abroad

Studying at another university for a year, semester or summer, is often a great way to travel and experience new places and cultures. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in another way of living, to expand your horizons and capabilities. Most students who study abroad rate it as one of the most important parts of their university experience.
