The Erasmus Programme is an EU-funded programme which encourages students in higher education to spend part of their studies in another European country. Students have the opportunity to take a study placement at a partner university, and on some courses, the opportunity to do a work placement in another European country.
If you are not currently registered at Newcastle University and wish to come to study in the School of Computing Science for one or more semesters, you can do this as part of an Erasmus agreement.
Agreements exist with the following institutions and only students registered at these institutions will be accepted:
Students wishing to study in the School of Computing Science, Newcastle University should choose modules from the international student study abroad module catalogue.
You should also contact Alan Tully (email alan.tully@newcastle.ac.uk), who is responsible for Computing Science exchanges at Newcastle. More information about the Erasmus exchange programme within Europe and outside Europe can also be found on the University website.
Once a student here, you can opt to spend up to 12 months studying at another University in one of the participating countries. We currently have exchange arrangements with a number of universities. If you are interested, you are advised to discuss the choices and procedures with your tutor, and the Erasmus Co-ordinator.
You are not necessarily expected to have studied the appropriate foreign language beforehand, but with some planning, there is the opportunity of doing so as part of Stage 1 of an undergraduate course. However, free language training can also be given before and during the period of study abroad.
