Erasmus is the area of the SOCRATES programme dedicated to backing cooperation in different fields of higher education. ERASMUS includes a wide range of actions designed to support the European activities of institutions dedicated to the teaching of higher studies. Its goal is to promote the mobility and exchange of its students and teaching staff in the endeavour to foster awareness among European citizens. Erasmus student mobility:
The major advantages of Erasmus cooperation agreements are academic recognition and exemption from the payment of academic fees in the country of destination. This means that the SOCRATES/ERASMUS study period forms a comprehensive part of the student’s studies at his or her university of origin, and that all of the subjects passed are fully recognized. Besides this, Erasmus students are potentially eligible for a grant to help them compensate for the costs of having to move abroad, such as travel expenses, linguistic preparation and differences in the cost of living. The Erasmus experience is extremely rich, not only from the academic and social points of view, but also with respect to future professional life. Apart from learning another language, Erasmus permits students to discover another way of thinking, of teaching and of understanding studying, thus contributing to the overall education of the student in question. In addition to this, an Erasmus experience in the field of music permits the student to discover different repertoires. All higher studies students from the associated
countries, except for those enrolled in the first year, can participate
in the Erasmus programme. You can also write to Begoña Alonso, erasmus@musikene.net.
