As a language student, I think the new Turing scheme holds exciting opportunities for UK students to participate in study or work placements all around the world. However, it is hard to make an informed decision about whether the loss of the Erasmus+ scheme is a mistake when we have been told very little so far about its replacement.
The Erasmus exchange programme, which the UK has been a part of since its introduction in 1987, allows students and trainees to work and study across Europe. According to the European Commission’s report, during the previous seven-year funding cycle (2007-2013) there were just under 5,000 Higher Education Institutes participating in the scheme across the 34 countries and over six million have benefitted since the beginning of the programme.
