The University welcomes the announcement that there is no immediate change to the UK’s participation in the Erasmus+ Programme following the EU referendum result.

According to a statement issued by Erasmus+, all participants and beneficiaries should continue with their Erasmus+ funded activities and preparation for the published application deadlines in 2016 and 2017. The UK National Agency will continue to manage and deliver the programme across the UK.

This position is supported by the statement from Jo Johnson, Minister of State for Universities and Science, published on 28 June 2016. His statement also outlines some initial information regarding the UK’s future access to the Erasmus+ programme.
