The effects of Brexit will affect both our country and the Greeks who live, work or study in Great Britain.
Tuition increase
One of the effects of Brexit will be in the pocket of Greek students who have chosen England to study, as enrollment will increase. Those who enroll as of 2021, must pay the tuition fees paid by international students, which amount, on average, to 16,500 euros per year.
But those who are already enrolled will continue to pay the same amount as their British peers, and this will not change for the duration of their studies.
Also, Greek students are losing student loans from the British government to pay for tuition. By decision of the Minister of Public Universities Michel Donlan it was decided that from the academic year 2021-2022 students from the EU. and Switzerland are no longer eligible for student loans to cover tuition at UK universities.
However, in addition to the tuition fees, the problem of the student visa also arises. The reason for a new mechanism called the Student Route, which must be followed by citizens of an EU member state. who will arrive in the UK to study after January 1, 2021.
Finally, Erasmus
According to The Guardian, students from Great Britain will not be able to participate in the Erasmus program for student exchange with other European universities. Similarly, European students will not be able to go to Great Britain for their Erasmus.
The two parties could not meet because of the cost of Great Britain’s participation in this very successful program.
Boris Johnson had promised not to threaten Erasmus last January. Today, he simply said that leaving Erasmus was “a very difficult decision”.
For British students, a new program will be created, the Turing program, so that they can go to universities in Europe and the rest of the world.
What about the Greeks who work in Britain?
As for the Greeks who live and work in Great Britain, things are difficult when it comes to their reunion with members of their family, in case they want to follow them in the country.
It seems that for Greeks living and working in Britain for years, the current regime does not change. However, it is difficult for them to meet family members if they wish to follow them to Great Britain. There are many couples, in which one member works and lives in England, while the other prepares to move on. This transition in some cases will not be possible after December 31st. Even the children or spouses must comply with the new and strict immigration rules established by the country.
Things are getting more difficult for those who will try to work in Britain from 2021. If one does not have the pre-established status, that is, the status of a temporary residence permit, immigration becomes a difficult case. A point system is provided for immigrants, where applicants are graded based on their skills, knowledge, studies and experience. The system includes a visa category for skilled workers, with special conditions.
