Summary
- British universities are calling for the reintroduction of EU student exchanges, such as the Erasmus programme, which were halted after Brexit.
- The Erasmus+ programme provided funding for UK university students to study in a host EU country and engage in an exchange scheme with European students.
- Under Boris Johnson’s leadership, Erasmus+ was replaced by the Turing Scheme, which does not generally include funding for inbound students.
- Despite some progress with the Turing Scheme, it has failed to replicate key components that were successful in Erasmus+.
