One of the most frequently asked questions in relation to an Erasmus+ trip (and also the British Turing Scheme programme) is the financial side. While there are grants available, and extra funding especially for disadvantaged students, you will be expected to have some money put aside toward your trip.
What Will Your Grant Cover?
For example, the Erasmus+ awarded grant should cover your basic needs, such as your travel to and from your destination country, accommodation, food, transport etc. but for larger expenses, such as travelling to another country (especially if you’re inside Europe), you should bring your own money. Plus, activities can be expensive so if you want to embark on some thrilling adventures, such as skiing, or snow-boarding, then you’ll need extra cash!
Different Countries Have Different Standards and Costs of Living
It's also worth considering the differences between countries’ standards of living because , as a great example. Eastern Europe is notoriously cheaper than Western Europe. Furthermore, capital cities are always more expensive than coastal town and smaller cities.
Inflation Has Made International Travel More Expensive
Inflation is also making everything more expensive, and the world is in a global cost of living crisis so it’s no wonder that things cost more than ever before. So how do you stay on top of the ever-growing price problem in relation to Erasmus+ and the British version the Turing Scheme?
