International Opportunities – ERASMUS+
As part of our Internationalisation strategy, Carlow Institute, now with accredited status, participates in the Erasmus+, European Union’s programmes supporting education and training through mobility and international links.
Through Erasmus+ we offer students and staff the opportunity to enhance their experiences in an international context through funded residential trips to partner organizations across Europe. Research shows that participating in overseas educational experiences enhances students’ progression opportunities, as well as developing a wide range of personal skills, including confidence and intercultural awareness. At Carlow Institute we have developed links with colleges across Europe and have scheduled student visits which offer amazing opportunities to develop cultural and educational awareness and to understand the international dimension of the occupational areas. International visits are brilliant learning experiences and are significant enhancements to your CV too!
Some of Erasmus+ student visits included
- Makeup artists visiting to Lyon in France,
- Games and Apps Design involved in a project which involved travel to Madrid,
- Staff mobilities in the Netherlands, Germany and Italy as well as
- Blended collaborations across Europe.
Carlow Institute looks forward to continuing their involvement in Erasmus+ and offering enriching experiences for staff and students alike.
