Studying in England was and still is the dream of many European students. London, the nerve center of the financial and creative life of England, is one of the main destinations not only for Erasmus students, but also for many young people who want to learn or improve their English, and for those who are looking forward to a new professional or personal beginning.
The Erasmus program in the United Kingdom used to welcome almost 32,000 students a year and, in return, sent almost 17,000 English students to different universities in the EU. One of the aspirations of this program is to form European citizens who can deal not only with other languages, but also with a new educational and social environment.
But beware, not everything is lost! Indeed, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that there will be a program for British students to keep studying at European universities. This program takes the name of its inspirer, the mathematician Alan Turing, and will have 110 million euros to cover scholarships for around 35,000 students.
Likewise, European universities are making agreements with universities in England to continue with this exchange program. Surely your university is already working to make your Erasmus in the UK possible. Find out at the international student’s office of your academic institution and prepare for a little more paperwork.
Will I need a Visa?
As soon as the term of the last existing Erasmus programs ends, things will change. To study in Europe, UK students will have to meet the same requirements as non-European students. This surely implies the need to obtain a visa, with costs, embassy appointments and other formalities that could discourage some candidates.
Do I need to certificate my linguistic competence in Italian or Spanish?
The answer is yes. A specific level is not usually required, but the higher the level, the more points you will get in the selection process. However, it is recommended to have at least B1 level, which can be achieved in different ways: with an internal exam from your university or by preparing one of the official exams with Kaleido Languages. We have native and qualified teachers to provide you with the tools you need to reach the level you need. Don’t forget: your journey starts with us!
