As a result of the vote of the Landtag [the Liechtenstein parliament] on Wednesday, 1 October 2014, no further obstacles remain to Liechtenstein’s taking part in the European educational programme Erasmus+. In spite of an increase in the anticipated costs resulting from the rise in Liechtenstein’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), 20 out of the 25 members of parliament gave their approval to the necessary funding.

Students at the University of Liechtenstein will thus continue to benefit from the opportunity of an EU-sponsored period of study or work experience in another European country. A recently published study on the Erasmus study exchange scheme came to the conclusion that former Erasmus students have better chances of finding employment. In the light of this, the International Office expects to see keen and ongoing interest in foreign placements on the part of the student body.
The Erasmus programme offers the University of Liechtenstein the opportunity of boosting its internationalisation strategy by encouraging the mobility of its academic staff and promoting its strategic partnerships abroad.
