Tuition fees for EU students in the United Kingdom will be the same as those paid by British students following an agreement to rejoin the EU Erasmus+ exchange programme, building on the earlier decision to withdraw after Brexit.The deal, announced by Maroš Šefčovič and Nick Thomas-Symonds, starts in 2027 and includes a first-year British contribution of about £570 million while covering university exchanges, vocational training, youth programmes and sport activities, although ministers say detailed parliamentary and technical work remains before entitlements are finalised.Ursula von der Leyen and Keir Starmer hailed the restoration of ties as a boost for student mobility and research, while right-wing opponents criticised the move and officials warned later-year costs will be adjusted to reflect mutual benefits.
