Paragraph C
Erasmus
This popular scheme aims to increase student mobility within the European Union and associated states. Participants under this scheme get to spend a semester at a foreign university, often receiving a grant from the EU or their home department. By the start of the next academic year, more than one million students will have benefited under Erasmus. Not only do you get to sit through hours of lectures in the local language, you also gain a cultural insight into the country. France, Germany and Spain are always popular, but the EU encourages applications to countries where less prominent languages are spoken, such as Greece and Portugal.
Paragraph D
Theoretically, students of any discipline can participate in the Erasmus scheme, although it depends on the involvement of your specific department in the project. The reality is that, in many universities, the scheme is most commonly implemented for modern languages students.
Paragraph E
U21
For a French student like me, Melbourne in Australia seems an unlikely destination, yet I was assigned there in my second year. Universitas21 is a multinational consortium of “prestigious” higher education institutions throughout the world, which have joined forces to offer their students the opportunity to study abroad for a semester. The applicant’s destination depends on the links between their department and the corresponding departments of member universities, which can be found in countries such as New Zealand, China, Singapore, Canada, Sweden and the United States.
a) You should always put studying first.
b) Participants of the Erasmus scheme always receive a grant from the EU or their Department of Education.
c) The Erasmus scheme is not only about studying.
d) It’s easy to prolong your stay abroad.
e) Under U21 you can travel only in European countries.
