Exciting news arrived this month for anyone who’s ever dreamed of living, studying, or working across Europe. The UK and EU have agreed that Britain will rejoin the Erasmus+ programme from 2027, marking a significant shift in opportunities for students, professionals, and lifelong learners alike.

The Erasmus+ programme will create educational and training opportunities for apprentices, further education students, and adult learners, not just undergraduates. This means whether you’re considering a career change, eyeing a work placement abroad, or simply want to expand your horizons, language skills will be your passport to making the most of these opportunities.

Over 100,000 people in the UK could benefit from the scheme in the first year alone. That’s a lot of competition for placements in Barcelona or Lisbon. Those who arrive with genuine conversational ability in Spanish or Portuguese will have a significant advantage.

Starting Your Language Journey

Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to dust off your French vocabulary, City St George’s short evening language courses offer a flexible way to build real competence in a modern language. We offer courses in French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and more – at every level from absolute beginner through to advanced.

Our courses are designed so that you can fit language learning around your job, and our expert tutors understand that adults learn differently. We focus on practical communication skills you’ll actually use – precisely what you’ll need if you’re planning to take advantage of Erasmus+ opportunities from 2027.

Not Sure Where to Begin?

If you’re curious about language learning but not quite ready to commit, we’re running a free taster session on the evening of January 8th 2026. It’s a chance to experience our teaching approach, meet our tutors, chat with current students, and get a feel for which language might suit your goals – whether that’s career development, travel, or simply the joy of learning something new.

The return to Erasmus+ won’t happen overnight, but 2027 will arrive sooner than you think. The students and professionals who’ll seize those opportunities are the ones starting their language journey now, building skills one evening class at a time.

Why not be one of them?
