The UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020 and is currently in a transition period until 31 December 2020, during which time the UK remains a member of the customs union, free movement of people will continue and UK institutions will continue to be able to access EU funding sources.

Details on arrangements after 31 December 2020 remain unclear, so applicants, students and staff are advised to check relevant websites regularly for updated advice and guidance.

Further details on the impact of Brexit on Scotland’s Universities and Colleges can be found at the Scottish Funding Council’s Brexit webpage.

We are also working with our partners in the Highlands and Islands European Partnership (Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the 7 local authorities in the region and the University of the Highlands and Islands) to address the impact on our region.

Access to the new EU programmes from 2021-27 is subject to the transition negotiations. We continue to follow progress on this, together with developments of any alternative domestic replacement initiatives.
