Brexit and exchanges to the United Kingdom
The UK has left the EU on 1 January 2021 and is no longer participating in the Erasmus+ program. Students going on exchange to the UK in the academic year 2021-2022 can still receive an Erasmus+ grant, as there is still funding available in Tilburg University's previously granted Erasmus+ project. Students selected for a 2022-2023 exchange to the UK can go on exchange based on extended agreements with Tilburg University's UK partners. Easmus+ grants are no longer available for these students and other scholarship options are being assessed.
Students with questions about their exchange to the UK should contact studyabroad@tilburguniversity.edu.
