How does the Erasmus+ Program work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This program allows students to continue their studies at a foreign university<\/strong>. It came into force on January 1st, 2014, although it was founded in 1987. It is part of three strategies<\/strong>: Europe 2020, Education and Training 2020, and Rethinking Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plan is addressed to citizens or permanent residents of a participating country<\/strong>, people who have a temporary residence permit<\/strong> (in force during the entire exchange), or who have refugee or stateless status in one of the participating countries<\/strong>. Students can go on Erasmus+ from the first year<\/strong> of university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the university to which they apply and whether or not the student requests an internship<\/strong> abroad, the duration of the Erasmus+ program will vary between a period of 3 to 12 months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
