Erasmus plus and Turing

International experiences that broaden what is possible

Build skills and confidence

Learning in another country can help students see their subject in a new context, develop communication skills and become more confident in unfamiliar situations. Experiences that connect with their studies can strengthen their independence and preparation for employment.

Improve education through collaboration

International collaboration gives education teams opportunities to exchange knowledge, explore new approaches and reflect on what works. Sharing practice can inform teaching, support innovation and help us improve the quality of the learner experience.

Connect local learning with global opportunities

We want international activity to contribute to the places we serve. By connecting education providers and employers across countries, we can broaden opportunities, develop understanding of workforce needs and support skills that matter to local economies.

The Turing Scheme

The Turing Scheme supports international study and work placements for eligible UK students. At Activate Learning, it has enabled students to take part in experiences that connect their course with learning in another country.

In 2025, 29 sports students from across our college group travelled to Rio de Janeiro with five members of staff through a Turing-funded programme. The students explored Brazilian sporting culture and took part in activities designed to develop their global awareness and research skills, including a comparative study of sport in UK and Brazilian society.

Erasmus plus

Erasmus+ offers opportunities for international cooperation in education and training. We welcome conversations with organisations interested in sharing practice and exploring collaborative projects that improve opportunities for learners and staff.
