Due to the impact of travel restrictions during the pandemic, Erasmus funding through the British Council continued for Northern Ireland students to the end of current academic year. My officials have already been in touch with International Officers in Queens University Belfast and University of Ulster with a view to having revised mobility arrangements for students from Northern Ireland in place for August 2023.
Once the new procedures have been put in place, students will be advised accordingly.
