The Erasmus programme enables students to study abroad for three to twelve months. The European Union's Life Long Learning Programme (LLP) wants to stimulate the creation of a European identity and therefore subsidizes several projects, including ERASMUS (European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students). Erasmus provides for financial support in education, including enabling 'mobility' amongst students.
The History Department also allows students to study abroad.
