‘UK Erasmus+ students normally receive an Erasmus+ grant provided by the European Commission which contributes towards the extra costs arising from studying abroad. Erasmus+ grants in the UK are paid through your home institution and are paid in addition to the standard grants or loans to which you are entitled. Please remember that this is a supplementary, non-repayable grant intended to offset any additional expenses you may incur while you are abroad. You should not depend on it to cover your essential living costs. Bear this in mind when you are budgeting! During your Erasmus+ study, you continue to receive any student grant or loan to which you are entitled.’ (source: http://www.britishcouncil.org/erasmus-funding.htm )

Currently Erasmus+ funding is between 400Euros and 450Euros per month depending on the country you go to. There is also the opportunity to access supplementary grants for going to priority countries or applicants being from a Widening Participation background (€120 per month).

Students are not required to pay tuition fees at their host institution. From 2014-15 onward, a new regulated fee limit will apply to ‘new-regime’ students who are taking a year abroad under the Erasmus+ scheme. This will be set for full-time undergraduates each year and students will be informed of this: Tuition fee loans will be available to eligible students to cover these costs.

For students who are taking a sandwich year out outside the Erasmus+ scheme (whether in or outside the UK) from 2014-15, this will be set for full-time undergraduates each year and students will be informed of this: Tuition fee loans will continue to be available to eligible students to cover these costs.

For students only going for one semester tuition fees will set accordingly each year.

Please contact the International Office to confirm your fees.

You will study approximately the same number of credits as you would if you had stayed at Edge Hill University (1 year = 120credits, 1 semester = 60credits). You will still be registered as an EHU student whilst at the partner university. Once you have returned from your exchange your results won’t count towards your final degree classification but you will be required to successfully complete your modules at the partner university.

The majority of our host institutions deliver in English and will not require you to know another language; however you may find it useful to learn some basics. You may also wish to consider EHU Language Learning opportunities, where relevant, in preparation for your time abroad. View more information.
