On 23 June 2016, a hotly contested debate around the UK’s continued membership of the European Union ended in a public vote narrowly in support of the “leave” campaign. The complete implications of the referendum - including exactly when the UK will commence its exit (Brexit) along with the terms which it 's going to achieve this are yet uncertain, and likely to be like that for quite a while. With Prime Minister David Cameron committed to stepping down by October, the upcoming months will see the country achieve a new prime minister, and perhaps hold an election, in turn shaping the negotiating point from where great Britain commences exit talks. Once Article 50 is formally invoked, there will be only two-year negotiating window left, also it’s unlikely there 'll be any significant changes until this is closed. Once the process is complete, what could Brexit mean for young students from the EU, UK and elsewhere? Fees and financial aid Probably the most pressing questions for current EU students in the UK, and people planning to enroll in the future, is whether tuition fees can change. Many U.K universities previously issued public statements pledging to keep current fee levels for existing EU students until the end of their studies, as well as to those planning to commence studies in the 2016/17 academic year. Students Loans Company (SLC) has confirmed that EU nationals who are already studying in England, or going to commence studies, will continue to be qualified to

Britain withdrawing the European Union has always been an ongoing discussion, one of the many goals pursued by some British political parties, along with groups of people and individuals. Leaving the European Union is a right that every country that is part of the Treaty on the European Union has (Article 50 of the treaty), and this is what the Conservative political parties that proposed the referendum are triggering to impulse a faster withdraw from the EU; specially the new prime minister Theresa May.

On the 23rd of June 2016, the UK held a referendum to determine whether the UK should remain a part of the European Union, which resulted in the UK evoking Article 50 on the 29th of March 2017.

The UK has recognized the rights of European citizens residing in the UK and the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as priorities in the upcoming negotiations. Currently, there has been insufficient agreement across these priorities and negotiations have somewhat stalemated, allowing for the possibility of leaving the EU without an agreement.
