Erasmus+ Returns to British Universities, Benefiting Thousands of Students

Published February 18, 2026, 12:22

The Erasmus+ program will be reinstated at British universities from the 2027-28 academic year, six years after the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the program due to Brexit. This development will benefit thousands of students and universities across Europe. A Cypriot student will be able to study part of their degree in Britain without additional tuition fees, provided there are prior agreements between the educational institutions. Erasmus+ also allows for the exchange of educational staff.
