Publisher's Note
Graduates with international experience fare much better on the jobs
market, according to a study on the impact of the EU's Erasmus student

scheme has led to the birth of one million babies since its launch, with
27 per cent of people who took part meeting their current life partner
during their stay abroad. So it really can change your life.
