Impact of Brexit on current and prospective students<\/a><\/p>\n

The consequences of Brexit for prospective UK student or for WUR student will cause an impact. Therefore, the concerns and thought of our students are of high relevance. We asked the opinion, from a personal perspective, from a student enrolled at WUR \u00a0and living in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

As a UK student studying here in Wageningen and, given\u00a0the fact that Brexit has received so much news coverage recently in the EU, I am often asked questions about the topic.\u00a0So here is some of\u00a0my opinions and concerns.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Firstly, I want to make it clear that I am completely against Brexit. I voted to stay part of the EU and I know that most young people that I know in the UK feel the same.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

From the perspective of a UK student the EU has\u00a0so many opportunities to work or study.\u00a0Now\u00a0there is a big question mark over these opportunities. Studying in Wageningen is a great example of one of\u00a0the many benefits\u00a0the EU has brought me.\u00a0I am happy I can study under the same conditions as Dutch students thanks to EU legislation<\/strong>.\u00a0I love the university and I have learnt so much since I have been here. The teaching style is very different from UK universities, with a lot more contact hours, group work and practical classes. In the UK we have a lot of essay-based assignments whereas in Wageningen there is a greater focus on presentations and reports which better reflect the type of work that we may do in future careers.\u00a0I enjoy studying here so much<\/strong> that I\u00a0have recommended the university to several friends\u00a0in the\u00a0UK.\u00a0However, my recommendations come\u00a0with the Brexit caveat and this is a real shame.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0I am happy that the future of UK students currently studying in the EU is secure and the same goes for EU students currently studying in the UK.\u00a0\u00a0But what about all the prospective students? If a no deal Brexit happens that a giant window of opportunity will have been shut in their\u00a0face. Already,\u00a0I fear that\u00a0fewer students from the UK are studying in the EU due to uncertainties over Brexit.\u00a0It is impossible to know the economic costs\u00a0that missed\u00a0opportunities for UK students to study, work, and make friends across the EU will have. It is ridiculous that the UK government does not recognise the importance of the mobility of students between EU countries through\u00a0programs like ERASMUS.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Recently, I participated in a summer school in Brazil, organised through Wageningen Univeristy. Participants in the school were from the US and China as well as some\u00a0fellow Europeans. I was proud to share the diverse, multi-lingual and multi-cultural benefits of the EU with the Chinese and American students. <\/em><\/p>\n

The EU is unique in the sense that a short journey by train or plane can transport you into a completely different culture and language. This journey is without any customs or visa restrictions, unparalleled in the rest of the world. Brexit will make this journey to and from the UK unnecessarily\u00a0difficult.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

What is going to happen with WUR students from the UK?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The partnerships with the UK universities and the WUR will end on Brexit day.\u00a0Whether or not to get a resident permit after brexit day is not decided yet.\u00a0New strategic partnerships will need to be formed between universities in the UK and the Netherlands. Since a possible exchange programme will not be part of Erasmus+ it won’t be scholarships available for students.<\/p>\n

Prospective students from the UK \u00a0should know that…<\/strong><\/p>\n

British citizens that would like to study in the Netherlands after Brexit day cannot study under the same conditions and the same tuition fees as other EU students. This means we will treat you like non-European , which means the tuition fee applied for the EU citizens is no longer valid. Officially the UK is no longer able to participate in the Erasmus+ programme. Therefore, the master study expenses for British students will change from EU fee of \u20ac 2,110 to Non-EU\/EFTA students fee of \u20ac 18,800 (estimate).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bachelor \u00a0and \u00a0Master \u00a0Tuition \u00a0fees \u00a0(respectively)<\/strong>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
