NO DEAL BREXIT AND THE ERASMUS+ GRANT
At time of writing (March 2019) there is little clarity surrounding the UK’s exit from the EU and whether a deal will be in place covering the Erasmus+ programme and funding provided by the EU Commission by 29th March 2019.
On Wednesday 30th January 2019 the UK government publish an update to the Technical Notice providing guidance to organisations and individuals on the UK’s anticipated participation in the current Erasmus+ programme should the UK leave the EU with no agreement in place.
The technical notice outlines that the UK government will only provide funding to cover Erasmus+ grants awarded after the date of Brexit if the Commission agrees to enable the UK to remain in the programme and eligible for funding. Although not explicit, it is a possibility that there would be no government funding to replace Erasmus+ in a no deal scenario if the UK government is unsuccessful in negotiating access to the Erasmus programme
Information provided within this presentation, on the website, in
handbooks, information sessions, group or one to one
appointments and other literature is subject to change before
and after the UK’s exit from the EU. The University will keep you

to the payment of the Erasmus+ grant throughout the lead up to
