Responding to the Erasmus+ announcement today, Vivienne Stern, Chief Executive of Universities UK said:
Today's announcement that the UK will associate to the Erasmus+ programme from 2027 is fantastic news for the UK, and for students and universities here and across Europe. The agreement marks a huge step forward in our relationship with the EU and will offer life changing opportunities for thousands of students.
The UK government and the EU deserve credit for moving these complex negotiations forward at pace and reaching a mutually agreeable deal. We look forward to working with our universities and our partners in Europe, to ensure that the programme plays a pivotal role in rebuilding our international partnerships and delivers the best possible outcomes for the UK.
