The UK and the European Commission have struck a long-awaited deal to allow researchers in Britain access to the EU's flagship research program, Horizon. 

The deal signed by Spain’s minister of education and UK ambassador to Spain will aim to usher in “pre-Brexit” procedures for British students wanting to study at Spanish universities.

A landmark report by various stakeholders in the UK has revealed that international students boosted the country's economy by £41.9bn in the academic year 2021/22.

Former Labour Party spokesperson Alastair Campbell has criticised Brexit for its impact on student exchanges and school trips to the UK. 

Twin has launched a volunteering program to meet demand for work experience after Brexit rules took away opportunities for European students.

A report has highlighted a "sustained shift" in positive attitudes towards migration in the UK, but warned that "large parts" of the higher education sector could become uneconomic if the government restricts student visas.
