The United Kingdom and Erasmus: An Obituary 16 February, Credit: Caitlin Tilley On Christmas Eve 2020, Boris Johnson had a disappointing present for students in the UK and EU: the announcement that the UK would be pulling out of the Erasmus programme. This was a huge shock, as a future of easy mobility between the UK and EU seemed more out of reach than ever. Johnson’s main justification for this decision was financial, saying that the new Turing scheme will provide a better value for money. The withdrawal is particularly bitter for EU citizens who planned an experience abroad in the UK, as it will not be financially viable anymore for most of them. The move also risks alienating the UK further from the EU, although that might be regarded as a positive side-effect by many Brexiteers.
