Did you know that a student exchange isn’t the only way to gain international experience during your studies? Short courses lasting a few weeks, supported by an Erasmus+ grant, are an excellent way to earn credits abroad with a lower barrier than a full exchange. The grants vary slightly by destination; for participants in the France and China courses, the grant is up to €1,500. See the list below about three suitable courses for ENG students that are coming up.
Torino: Geothermal Energy: Resource Assessment, Plants, and Environmental Impacts (NOTE application closes 10th of April)
