Why Malta is the Perfect Destination for a Winter Semester With TravelEdventures and Erasmus+

Studying abroad through the EU’s Erasmus+ scheme gives students so many incredible opportunities. Not only does an Erasmus+ qualification impress future employers but most Erasmus+ students go onto find gainful employment with firms they want to work for far quicker than those without international experience. Furthermore, a semester in a foreign country forges excellent connections, which you’ll find useful for the future. Then there’s the social side! You’ll make lifelong friendships, and some people even find their future partner on an Erasmus+ abroad! You’ll also discover a completely different way of life to the one you’re used to back home, enjoy another culture, try dishes that may well be brand new to you and see another country from fresh eyes. What’s not to love about spending time abroad?

So – if the above has whet your appetite for an adventure abroad, why not consider an Erasmus+ study placement in Malta this Winter 2024/25? Speak to your university or college careers’ team to see if you’re able to apply and if you are a university or college (or other school) looking for something meaningful for your students, take a look at our trips to Malta by clicking here.
