No, it's shit.

More expensive than the Turing Scheme, less favourable to those from more deprived backgrounds and replaces a global program which only focuses on one continent - one that is struggling and gradually losing its relevance.

The keyboardist from D:Ream was trying to act smug about it on X, and was promptly torn to shreds in the comments.

So you have one scheme that's reciprocal across Europe and is accessed by 350,000 students a year and another which isn't reciprocal and is basically being used for school trip funding? The Turing scheme has one advantage over Erasmus; it's cheap. Because the UK gov thought EU students would still pay the fees for UK universities if there was no subsidy; they didn't, and UK universities lost a revenue stream that's fucked them for the last five years (along with more recent anti-student measures designed to please the Reform crowd).

You now have nearly 120 unis that are facing imminent collapse (24 could be bankrupt this year), which reduces opportunity for UK students as well as foreign ones, and that's why the Erasmus scheme is coming back. Successive UK governments told UK unis to use foreign students as a revenue stream and then Brexit cut them off at the knees because joined-up thinking is only something foreigners can do apparently. Does this mean the UK government will be paying a bit more money to the education sector? Yes. Is it an investment worth making even though it seems to benefit foreigners? Yes.

Tbh, our university sector has just become a cash cow. 50% of kids in the UK aren't capable of what was previously "degree level thinking" - so we've devalued degrees.

Where we'd previously hire good degree students they don't get a look in any more - you need a decent masters now.

Used to moan about that in the 90's tho, so little point now. It is what it is.

Of course, expected a funny/facepalm off @Gwadien - used to be only the very smartest went to uni, but now everyone goes they've fucked over the first year with "foundation years" to get kids up to speed. So what was a 3 year thing became a two year thing with remedial maths for retards...

Hiring practices don't lie. Degrees are (expensive) lifestyle choices now.

And when the yanks say Europe is going down some leftist culturally marxist gender critical idiocy route we point at them and go "cunts"...

The yanks say Europe is left wing because every fucking thing is left wing compared to those wankers.

Epic find @Scouse

The video shows the galaxies and stars close together. In fact the distances between each one is unimaginably vast.

When the Milky Way and Andromeda eventually merge (in roughly 9 billion years - set your alarms), there will be no stellar collisions due to the vast distances between each star.

Yeah but surely gravity is going to some funky shit that we can't comprehend?
