Erasmus + Impact on the University

“As a community we are determined that the University of

Edinburgh will continue to wear its heart on its sleeve as a

European and international university and I know that we

will be even more global and outward-looking in the future,

not less. The post-Brexit landscape will offer us many

opportunities to thrive and we will be ready to take them.”
