London South Bank University (LSBU) has been involved in the Erasmus programme for many years. Traditionally, language students have been its main beneficiaries, spending a semester or a year of their degree studying at another European university. However, the programme is also open to students from other subject areas, and to teaching staff. Some partner institutions offer study programmes in English, with the added opportunity to learn the national language.
Erasmus is an exchange programme. As a member university, LSBU agrees to receive a yearly quota of students and teaching staff from each partner institution (incoming). This quota matches the number of places reserved for LSBU students and teaching staff at the partner institution (outgoing).
Students who take part in the programme are sent by their home university; they do not pay fees to the receiving institution; nor do they gain an award (e.g. Bachelor) from the receiving institution. For one semester or one year, they follow a programme of study deemed equivalent to that of their home university. The marks obtained during their Erasmus period of study count towards their degree at the home university.
If you are currently a student at LSBU and are considering spending a period of study abroad.
