Erasmus+

What is Erasmus+?

Students are able to get funding for further education and training with the Erasmus+ programme. Travel opportunities are available in participating EU countries, for up to 12 months, for career development purposes or as a supplement to studies.

The Erasmus+ programme is perfect for EU students who want to boost their employability skills. In addition to this, staff and businesses can undergo additional coaching for their professional development, providing a great opportunity for those who want to spend time living, working and studying in another country. By embarking on one of our Erasmus+ courses, students can meet new people, embrace the varied British culture, learn new skills and could significantly improve their English.

Tailor-made teacher development

For non-native English teachers and those who teach their subject in English, our Erasmus+ Teacher Development course will allow them to explore British teaching methods, with a particular focus on the communicative teaching approach. This course takes place at our state-of-the-art English school in London Greenwich, of which the most recent British Council inspection noted six areas of strength, including quality assurance and course design. Teachers on this programme will gain a broader knowledge of British society and culture and will have the chance to observe lessons and plan effectively. The course is available to closed groups throughout the year and there are select dates available for individuals.

Accommodation to suit everyone

We are able to offer a range of accomodation options including homestay, residential and flatshares.

Many of our students choose to stay in homestay accommodation, provided by one of our trusted homestay hosts. Students will have the chance to practise their English at home with their host and can fully immerse themselves into the British culture. We aim to place students in accommodation which is within approximately 45 minutes travel time of our school in Greenwich, or their placement company, dependent upon which Erasmus option they choose. In addition to homestays, we also have residential accommodation available throughout London. Our residences are ideal for students who want to be more independent and have been carefully selected for their great facilities, location and services that they offer. Most residences have communal areas, some with gaming and TV spaces, where students can meet other people from around the world, including other language and work experience students.
