Students’ EU ‘demand letter’ to PM

Student presidents from 16 higher education institutions, including the four ancient universities of Scotland, have signed a letter to the Prime Minister detailing a number of Brexit priorities they want met by the government.

They want assurances of continued participation in the Erasmus student exchange scheme, protected mobility for students between Europe and the UK and sustained levels of research funding.

Lewis Wood, association president at the University of St Andrews Students’ Association, said: “This strongly worded letter captures the sentiment of students across Scotland, making this one of the biggest ever collective demonstrations by students’ associations.” 0 St Andrews’ Lewis Wood: ‘Strongly worded letter’
