Each year over 500 UL students have the opportunity to spend an academic semester abroad under the Erasmus programme as part of their course of studies. Depending on the course, there is the option to study in one of over 300 partner universities across Europe. Erasmus provides the opportunity to live abroad and meet new people, improve foreign language proficiency, develop transversal skills such as analytical skills and problem solving as well as enhancing employability. Erasmus impact studies show that that 80% of Erasmus+ graduates are employed within three months of graduation, with 72 percent stating their Erasmus+ experience helped them get their first job. More than 90% of Erasmus+ students also improve their ability to work and collaborate with people from different cultures from living in a new country and making friends from across the world. Watch the testimonials from some of the 423 UL students who spent a semester abroad on Erasmus during the Autumn 2019 sharing their life changing experiences from their time spent in Germany, Malta, Spain, Czech Republic, Wales, Belgium, Switzerland and France.
