The UK's Turing Scheme has once again come under fire during a recent parliamentary debate, with MPs concerned that it has "simply fallen behind" the Erasmus offering.

Over 40,000 British students will receive funding from the government to study abroad over the next year, but institutions say the UK’s Turing scheme remains plagued with problems. 

The UK's education secretary gave an impassioned speech about international education and her pride of the UK sector, including the Turing Scheme, during the 2023 Education World Forum.

The House of Lords European Affairs Committee has called for a UK-EU relations "reset", including a shake up of the current student mobility landscape.

The funding timeline for the UK’s Turing exchange program is “deeply problematic”, the University Council of Modern Languages has warned, as legislators say it fails to measure up to the EU's Erasmus+ scheme.

The full impact of Brexit is still yet to seen but UK higher education must look again at partnerships to maintain its position within the mobility arena

There are barriers which need to be addressed in both the Turing and Taith schemes to benefit from their full potential, said stakeholders during an APPG roundtable.

More needs to be done to allow young people from Europe to access internships in the UK, stakeholders have said, with a dedicated internship visa route mooted as one possible solution.
