Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent estimate he has made of the financial effect on UK students studying abroad of the UK leaving the EU.

The department, with colleagues from other government departments, continues to monitor the impact of the UK leaving the EU on UK students studying in the EU including those studying their whole course at an EU university, those on a “Year Abroad” as part of their UK course and those on the Erasmus+ scheme and, in the future, the Turing scheme.

Grants available through the Turing Scheme are comparable with those available through Erasmus+, but in the Turing Scheme additional support is available for disadvantaged students and students with special educational needs and disabilities.
