Brexit Updates for EU Students

EU Student Advice on Brexit

On December 31st 2020, the UK formally left the European Union.

UK universities and SI-UK have always supported diversity, tolerance, and internationalism. The UK remains one of the most welcoming destinations for EU students seeking a world-class education.

All universities strongly believe that European and international students make a vital contribution to UK higher education and society. Learn more below with our FAQ, and if you have any questions, please contact SI-UK London; we will be happy to help.
