UUK Statement
Erasmus Exchanges in the Event of a No-Deal Brexit
26 May 2019
There is a possibility that if the UK leaves the EU in a no-deal situation funding for future exchanges may be affected. We are keeping the School informed of any potential changes and will update students on the situation.
The British Council have confirmed that they have received a contract for funding from the EC. Therefore, Erasmus will continue into the 2019 - 20 academic year. However, as yet, LSE has not received confirmation of the amount of funding that will be received. Priority will always be given to the Undergraduate Exchange at Sciences Po. Any remaining funding will be split between exchanges and we cannot guarantee full funding.
