UK to rejoin Erasmus student program in 2027
Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government is finalizing negotiations to rejoin the EU's Erasmus+ student exchange scheme from 2027, marking a significant step in Labour's post-Brexit reset with Brussels. Ministers are working towards an agreement by January 2026, with the UK securing a potential 30% fee reduction in the first year. The move would restore access for British students to study abroad at European universities while welcoming EU participants to UK institutions after the programme ended under Boris Johnson.
