Erasmus+ Programme and Turing Scheme: Age

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 10 March 2026UIN 116513

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether there is a minimum age to participate in the (a) Turing and (b) Erasmus+ scheme.

Answered by Josh MacAlister

Most Erasmus+ activities do not have a specific age limit, except for youth activities which are only available to 18 to 30-year-olds. Erasmus+ is designed for a wide range of participants, including learners, trainees, and staff across higher education (HE), further education, vocational education and training, schools, adult education, youth programmes and sport programmes.

Students can participate in Turing Scheme placements if they are receiving education from an eligible provider from primary school through to HE.
