Every year, thousands of UK students go to study or work in Europe thanks to the EU-funded Erasmus programme. But now that the UK has voted to leave the European Union, our future access to this scheme is at risk.

That’s why the Liberal Democrats are calling for the Erasmus programme to be protected in any Brexit negotiations. Please sign our petition here.
