Doncaster College is now one of hundreds of institutions to join up to the programme, which one of the largest in Europe. Teaching staff can also take part in the scheme.

Colleges and universities from 31 different countries throughout Europe participate in the programme, offering a variety of places which students, and teachers, can go to learn.

Claire Wheeler, the College's Erasmus Co-ordinator, said: "We're delighted to be able to offer this fantastic opportunity to our students and staff.  At the same time, we will be able to offer European students learning opportunities at Doncaster College."
