Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether the Government plans to replace access to funding universities receive from the Erasmus+ programme for UK students undertaking placements abroad before 2020 in the event that the UK leaves the EU on 29 March 2019 without a deal.

In the event that the UK leaves the EU with no agreement in place, the government’s underwrite guarantee will cover the payment of awards to UK applicants for all successful Erasmus+ bids submitted before the UK exits the EU.

Further details are set out in the technical notice published in August 2018. We will provide further advice shortly.
