I mean yay, but fuck me I’d be pissed if I was part of the cohort who have missed out on this opportunity because of Brexit dickheads.
Erasmus was truly one of the best things that happened to me and it’s a tragedy that British island mentality and university greed has restricted so many from taking part…

Just in time for one of my kids to benefit from something the racist fuckwit Brexiters took away from the other one.

Hopefully, this is just one in a number of de facto roll-backs of much of the damage of Brexit.
Europe is very different to 10 years ago, frankly the EU nations need a good relationship with the UK a lot more than they need to punish us for the sin of Brexit.
The big one of course is the European Single Market, and there are mechanisms such as EFTA/EEA, that will allow us access without full rejoin.

Should’ve never left it. Brexit was stupid enough in general but leaving Erasmus took the cake of needlessly self damaging stupidity

A bit off topic, but that picture is just so poor, UK represented by a very small part of London with GR on the postbox, a Grenadier holding a stick, a New York skyline of skyscrapers and tomato soup with scones.

It’s good in principle, but it sounds very expensive, £570m rising to £800m a year, the last time we had Erasmus 20k students used the scheme each year, so that would be £30-40k per student per year.
Honestly you could reduce student tuition fees for all students by 10-15% with that money, I’d prefer to do that.
Or, all medical research in the UK is £1.5bn a year, we could use that money to increase medical research by more than 50%.

It’s so funny (as in not at all) how everything revolving around the worst of Brexit seems handcrafted to punish the 16-22 years old cohort at the time of the vote, who were dead set against it.

So much opportunity missed for nothing.
