The “fog” over the English Channel may be gone, but it is disrupting on many levels. Among other things, starting from January 1, many problems are created for Greek students, such as the right to receive a loan to cover tuition fees and the student visa.
Significant changes are coming for Greeks living in England since December 31 due to Brexit.

They are coming back home
Manolis Nikolousis is a physician and director of blood donation at a Birmingham hospital. After 17 years living and working in Great Britain, he decided to return to his homeland.
“What I’ve learned from both BREXIT and the last few years that have been very difficult in England is that when we can work as a team and we can be united we can do things, there are definitely prospects. At the moment, Britain is going backwards.”
Britain’s trade deal with the European Union just seven days before the country left the world’s largest trading bloc will also affect Greeks who want to study in England.
Those students who enroll now must pay the tuition fees paid by international students, which amount to an average of 16,500 euros per year. At the same time, EU students are no longer eligible for a student loan to cover tuition at British universities.
Erasmus in the air
There is also a serious problem for the Erasmus program. Petros Tsafrakidis is a urologist at Victoria Hospital in Scotland and says he is still waiting for answers.
“They have not given concrete answers about what will happen with Erasmus. What about sponsorships, funding, cancer research?
Of course, we know very well that all major projects come from the EU or that a large part of the research has been carried out by the EU.
It seems that for Greeks living and working in Britain for years, the current regime does not change.
However, it is difficult to reunite them with their relatives, in case they want to follow them to Great Britain.
