Most of us dreamt about studying abroad – but wasn’t brave enough or didn’t have money to move out to a different country. That’s why Erasmus programme was established. It is now the most successful student exchange programme in the world. Each year, more than 230 000 students study abroad thanks to it. History The programme is named after the philosopher, theologian and humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam. The path to establishing the programme was not always smooth.

Few months later a compromise was finally reached, and the programme was adopted in June 1987.

Especially well-paid job. This phenomena is very stressful.

Therefore a student with a degree in law or in a medicine works as a waiter or goes abroad babysitting.          To be prepared for today's workforce, informed about important issues, and able to understand the complex world in which we live, all Americans must have a solid  educa...
