'I learned languages and travelled Europe through Erasmus'
The article discusses Claire Thomson's experiences traveling and learning languages in Europe through the Erasmus and Turing schemes. While studying at the University of Glasgow, she used Erasmus to work in Germany and later Turing to intern in France. These programs provide funding for students to study or work abroad, covering costs such as travel, living expenses, and course fees. Despite the UK briefly leaving the Erasmus scheme, it is set to rejoin in 2027, opening more opportunities for students to participate in international exchanges.
