Brexit: Give a chance for EU Students to study in the UK
#Save E.
started this petition to
The European Parliament
In June 2020 Michelle Donelan announced that EU Students are no longer eligible for home fee status for courses starting in the 2021/22 academic year.
As many of us are aware, this meant an unbelievable rise in the cost of the whole duration of studies and withdrawn access to student loans for EU Students.
The consequence of this decision is that most European students will not be able to afford to study in the UK. The 100,000 UK students in the EU and 170,000 EU students in the UK (among them among 14,000 EU Erasmus+ students) will no longer be able to cover their tuition fees, and living costs, as well as the UK Student visa and the Immigration Health Surcharge.
This will decrease the possibility of highly important academic and cultural exchange between British and non-British students, as well as the level of remarkable diversity that has been present in British universities.
These are amongst the features that make the British universities places of a world-class education.
In the 2020/21 education cycle the application rate from European students dropped by 50%. The highest drop is seen in Slovakia (74%) and Poland (73%) .
The petition created by #SaveEU Students campaign urges the European Parliament to ensure EU students who cannot afford to study in the UK after the end of Erasmus+ get the necessary financial support to undertake exchange students.
To that end, the petition proposes that a motion for a resolution be tabled as a matter of urgency on a new comprehensive EU-UK university student mobility scheme, taking into account the need for a fast and tangible solution in light of the COVID19 pandemic.
