The United Kingdom is set to rejoin the European Union's Erasmus program, which was suspended after Brexit, starting from January 1, 2021. According to reports cited by Sky News, British officials may announce the return to the program for January 2027. Labour leader Keir Starmer has expressed the intention to negotiate a post-Brexit agreement with Brussels, including favorable financial terms for the United Kingdom. There is talk of a 30% reduction in membership fees in the first year of rejoining. Alongside study exchanges, British students could also participate in vocational training internships. Universities in the UK have welcomed this possibility, highlighting the benefits for students and university campuses. The Liberal Democrats, who have advocated for rejoining Erasmus, received the news with enthusiasm.
