Erasmus

Welcome to the Erasmus page!

Here you should find all the information you need on life before, in-country and after your time abroad. For those of you going next year, congratulations! It is the most amazing opportunity, and I think that those of us who have been would say that it was a fantastic experience!

If you’re undecided about whether Erasmus is for you or not, and you want to talk to someone about it, please drop us a line on international@galenicals.org.uk or alternatively have a look under the specific cities for information on people who have been there. We’re all more than happy to help.
