UUK Statement
Erasmus Exchanges in the Event of a No-Deal Brexit
22 October 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.
LSE has received its funding for the 2019 - 20 academic year and there are still funds available for PhD and staff teaching exchanges. However, in the event of a no-deal Brexit we may be unable to facilitate any new exchanges if we are no longer participating in Erasmus +.
