The distribution of EU students in the UK is likely to become more uneven post-Brexit, a policy briefing by the Centre for Global Higher Education has suggested.

Universities UK has called for “urgent clarity” on the tatus of EU students during the Brexit transition period (2019-2020) and the UK’s long-term participation in EU research programs and the Erasmus+ scheme.

UK universities are unprepared for Brexit, warned Simon Marginson, Director of the Centre for Global Higher Education and professor at UCL, at UUKi's IHEF event in Nottingham.

"International students increase the overall standard and reputation of the system, and this benefits everybody"

EU students wishing study in Scotland will still benefit from free tuition after the UK’s official Brexit date next year.

International students will "use TEF results to decide between institutions", but there are misconceptions that the sector needs to be aware of, says QS.

Schools in the Netherlands are meeting with delegations from the European Medicines Agency to help transition as the agency moves to Amsterdam after Brexit.

The latest Brexit talks have ended in an agreement, including a promise that students will be afforded "equal treatment". It is unclear if Erasmus+ membership will continue past 2020 for the UK.
