Make an impact worldwide via research, education and practice.

BU2025 sets out our vision to be recognized worldwide as a leading university for inspiring learning, advancing knowledge and enriching society through the fusion of education, research and practice. 

The Erasmus+ Staff Mobility Scheme supported this vision. Since recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, over 200 participating staff, both professional services and academic, benefitted from the opportunities offered by these international exchanges. Participating staff undertook teaching or training experiences internationally, collaborating with partners/organisations and focusing on making societal impact across borders. They were able to implement and disseminate their learnings with both colleagues and students on their return locally, nationally and internationally.  

The Global Staff Mobility Team remain dedicated to providing advice and information on international staff mobility opportunities and are researching alternatives since Erasmus+ ended in the UK. For enquiries, please contact: [email protected]
