Getting the best value-for-money when you’re planning an Erasmus+ or Turing Scheme project for your students is always important for our partners. We understand that you want to know that you’re using your funding wisely while ensuring a brilliant experience for everyone involved. In fact, you’re not alone, we get asked about the value-for-money question all the time – and we’re used to getting value from funding received. Let’s tell you more about what we do to generate amazing experiences on smaller or restricted budgets.
Funding Tiers
In terms of accessing funding, countries are split into different tiers, the amount you receive will depend on the tier your desired country is in. Countries are split into type one, type two and type three. You receive a different amounts according to the group your desired country is in, and if you’re on a tight budget, our job is to recommend the cheapest countries and best value countries in those groups. In fact, there’s something for all funding amounts. Sometimes, it makes sense to choose a less expensive destination, so you do get the best possible value.
What Does a Less Expensive Country Mean?
So, when you’re looking at a work or study placement abroad and want great value for money we recommend talking to our team. A less expensive country, usually in Eastern Europe doesn’t mean any less of an experience! It simply means the cost of living is lower so there’s more on offer for your students, for example:
- Cheaper accommodation.
- Lower food costs.
- Less expensive activities.
- Low-cost public transport.
It’s definitely worth talking to us first, especially if you have no idea where to choose but you’re looking for value. We’ve organised thousands of successful Erasmus+ and Turing Scheme trips for schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions across Europe (and beyond). We understand that you’re looking for quality, but you don’t want the costs to spiral out of control and as we have so many partners at schools, colleges, universities and companies in Europe (and out of Europe too), we will organise your trips according to your profile.
