Scottish Higher Education Erasmus Partnership Guidebook

Scotland is home to 19 diverse universities from some of the oldest and highly ranked in the world to innovate modern universities and small specialists that excel in their subject areas. These universities are very internationally focussed and built on a foundation of collaboration, cooperation and exchange. Therefore it is not surprising that Scotland, with a population share of around 8% of the UK, was awarded 16% of UK Erasmus funding (supporting over 22,200 student and staff mobilities) in the previous Erasmus programme.

Scottish universities have warmly welcomed the commitment by the UK Government to rejoin Erasmus+ and the new opportunities for partnerships. This booklet contains details of the partnership requirements of eleven Scottish universities for Erasmus+ 2027 and beyond and is intended as a guide to aid new partnership development.
