'I learned languages and travelled Europe through Erasmus'
- On December 18, 2025, the United Kingdom government confirmed it will rejoin the Erasmus programme from 2027, paying £570million for the 2027/28 academic year.
- Post-Brexit the UK replaced Erasmus with the Turing scheme, and months of UK-EU negotiations including Brussels talks last week produced the agreement to rejoin in 2027.
- Negotiators secured a 30% discount for the first year, easing initial costs, and universities broadly welcomed association to Erasmus+, with Nick Thomas‑Symonds saying `This is about more than just travel`.
- The programme provides funding to cover travel, living and visa costs and offers extra support for participants with disabilities or additional learning needs.
- The deal initially covers one year, leaving long-term terms to the EU long-term budget to 2034, while Brussels warned the 30% concession may not repeat and costs could rise to £810m-a-year.
