The Northumbria University Erasmus+ Programme gives you an unmissable opportunity to spend an unforgettable semester or two in England.

English Language
Incoming Erasmus+ students are required to have a minimum English language proficiency of CEFR B2. We rely on our Erasmus+ partner institutions to confirm this fact when nominating their students and for the student to provide proof with their application.
Please note that an Erasmus+ student travelling to the UK on a non-EU passport is subject to UKVI Immigration requirements for their UK visa and therefore they will need to submit a University recognised English language test as proof of language proficiency alongside their Erasmus+ application (ie: TOEFL IBT, IELTS or Pearsons).
Details of Northumbria's English Language Requirements can be found here including the minimum component score requirements.
All European and International students at Northumbria have the opportunity to study in-sessional ESAP (English for Specific Academic Purposes) module alongside your academic modules to help develop your academic and English language skills in your Faculty and in your subject area.
Accommodation
Once your application has been processed and you have received an offer letter, a username and password will be sent out to you by email automatically (please ensure you check your junk mail). This information is required in order to apply for your University accommodation.
You can apply for your accommodation online via: Northumbria Accommodation Office
Students will only be able to apply for accommodation after they have received their username & password by email.
Please note: If relevant, it is helpful if students make a note on the Accommodation Application to say that they will be studying at Northumbria for just one semester.
