The UK is negotiating its future relationship with EU educational and research programmes post-transition period.
Question
The Scottish Government has invested around £85 million in a state-of-the-art college campus in Falkirk where students from all over Europe attend Forth Valley College. EU students bring significant economic benefits to the college, Falkirk, Scotland, and the UK, enriching institutions culturally and academically. What steps is the Department taking to ensure that the UK remains open, attractive, and competitive for EU students in the years ahead?
Answer from Michelle Donelan (Minister of State for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation)
We are committed to remaining open to participating in elements of the Erasmus scheme. The Government are very positive about the benefits of students coming to this country, which is why the Prime Minister announced that there will be a graduate option from 01 January 2021 so that graduates will be able to work in this country for two years following their degree.
