Brexit: consequences for students

As of 1 January 2021, the agreement signed on 30 December 2020 between the European Union and the United Kingdom comes into force. It sets out the rules for EU-UK relations in a number of areas, including the reception conditions for foreign students in the UK. European students will no longer be able to benefit from the reduced tuition fees and will have to pay the same fees as foreigners, an increase of about 3 times the price of study in the UK…

Is it the case for European students who want to go to the UK?

The consequences are being felt with a sharp slowdown in migration to the UK and a drop in foreign student enrolment in England. The year 2021 will clarify the conditions. Will you need a visa? A residence card? What will be the new difficulties to work in the territory? What health insurance for the UK?

Foreign students in the UK and British students abroad

The Erasmus programme was stopped by the United Kingdom and replaced by the Turing programme. The conditions will be clarified as they go along.

Faudra t -il une assurance santé pour les étudiants étranger au Royaume-Uni ? Pour les étudiants britanniques en Union européenne ?

Foreign students from the European Union to the UK for more than 90 days will have to take out specific student health insurance as no guarantees are given on the coverage of these students in the UK. The medical cost in England is among the highest in Europe and it is essential to be well protected.

British students will certainly need to take out international student insurance for their studies or internships abroad.
