Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE)

Erasmus+ (2021-2027) is an European funding programme providing grants for a wide range of activities in the fields of education, youth and sports. As of 2019 already 10 million people took part in the Erasmus Programme! Yearly 30.000 students, teachers and youth in the Netherlands take part in the Programme and they go on exchange for study purposes, do an internship, do projects or get trainings abroad in another EU-country.

In December 2020, the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences was awarded the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education 2021-2027 (ECHE) for participation in the activities of Erasmus+. The Charter is the quality framework for higher education institutes participating in Erasmus+. You can access the Charter and our Erasmus Policy Statement below:
