Durham already has over 250+ agreements with European partners. To reassociate, the University has applied for an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE). If approved the University will then apply for funding in 2027 to start from September 2027 onwards.

UK reassociation with Erasmus+ is due to take place in 2027, with staff and students being exchanged from September 2027 onwards. At present if you you are at a European university and would like to come to Durham:

• Students*: please visit the European Incoming Exchange webpage.
• Staff: please visit the Staff Mobility webpage

*Students wishing to come for a full degree (rather than an exchange) should note that this is not covered by the Erasmus+ programme. If you wish to study for a full degree, please visit the Studying in the UK webpage.

Turing funding will be discontinued by UK government, with it formally ending on 31 August 2027. The University has applied for an Erasmus+ Charter to use Erasmus+ to cover some of what was funded by Turing. However, under current Erasmus+ rules, only 20% of an Erasmus+ budget may be spent on non-Erasmus+ countries. This will have an impact on non-European activities - funding for these will be more limited and cannot be guaranteed.
