Impact of Brexit on higher education and research

Brexit may have an impact on higher education and research. The UK and EU have concluded a withdrawal agreement whereby nothing will change until the end of 2020. (source; Government of the Netherlands, 2020) .

On the website of the Dutch government you can read the most recent information on this topic.

Also the European commission can provide you with information about the effects of Brexit on the Erasmus+ programme.

Dutch residence permit required

Students with British nationality will require a Dutch residence permit from the 1st of January 2021. British students that already live in the Netherlands (and register with a Dutch municipality) before the 1st of January 2021, can apply for a temporary residence permit thanks to the Withdrawal Agreement.

For new British students, starting their studies after the 1st of January 2021, the university can apply for a study residence permit.
