Erasmus+
Overview
Erasmus+ is the European Union’s (EU) funding programme for education and training, youth and sport. The programme includes opportunities for students and staff to undertake study, work placements, teaching, and training opportunities across participating countries.
Current engagement
Whilst the United Kingdom has not been participating in the Erasmus+ programme during the 2021-2026 period, the University of Oxford has continued to support international mobility through:
- Longstanding partnerships with European institutions
- Participation in the UK government’s Turing Scheme (2026/27 is the final year of this mobility scheme)
Erasmus+ participation from 2027
The UK is re-joining Erasmus+ from 2027 as a third country associated to the programme. The University of Oxford has been awarded the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) which will be valid from 1 January 2027 for the final year of the current Erasmus+ programme cycle (2021-2027). Oxford will shortly be applying for Erasmus+ funding to support student and staff opportunities in the 2027/28 academic year, with outcomes expected in spring/summer 2027.
Further information about Oxford’s participation in Erasmus+ from 2027, including opportunities for students and staff, will be published as details become available. Please monitor this webpage for further updates.
