The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what information her Department holds on (a) which UK institutions have successfully applied for the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education and (b) the conditions to (i) apply and (ii) be accepted.

Answered by Josh MacAlister

Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) applications are currently subject to admissibility and eligibility checks before being evaluated against published award criteria. We anticipate that the results will be published in September 2026.

The guidance for higher education institutions on applying for the ECHE is published by the European Commission and is available on its Erasmus+ webpages.
