In the event that the UK leaves the EU with a withdrawal agreement in place, the UK will participate in Erasmus+ until the end of the current cycle in 2020. Leaving the EU with a deal remains the government’s top priority.

In the event the UK leaves the EU without a withdrawal agreement, the Government will engage with the European Commission with the aim of securing the UK’s participation in Erasmus+ until 2020.
