The Erasmus+ staff mobility programme

This is an excellent opportunity for you to not only build on your existing skills while meeting staff from other universities in the same field, but also experience a different culture and work environment.

The Erasmus+ programme is the European Union's funding programme for education, training, youth and sport. It governs student and staff exchange agreements in European countries.

We have been awarded an Erasmus charter to take part in the programme.

Erasmus+ teaching mobility

Staff teaching as part of their mobility must complete a minimum of eight hours’ teaching per week.

You can engage in activities such as:

  • lectures
  • seminars
  • workshops (leading)
  • mentoring activities with students

Erasmus+ training mobility

Both academic and professional services staff are eligible to undertake a training event or undergo job shadowing, observation or training at a university in one of the scheme countries.

Staff Mobility opportunities during the academic year 2021/22 under the current funding project should be completed by mid-May 2022. If you are interested please email mobilityoffice@bath.ac.uk. The call for applications will be open from 2 November 2021.

The minimum duration of the training period must be two working days. The main purpose of a training visit is to share knowledge and experience as well as learn good practice from the host university.

This can include:

  • job shadowing
  • observation
  • attending workshops or courses
  • transferring knowledge and good practice
  • learning from shared experience
  • acquiring practical skills
  • discovering new ideas for teaching or learning

Conferences are not included.

Staff must have completed at least six months of working at the University and must have the support of their line manager to apply.
