Most people who went to university will be aware of Erasmus, a £112m EU exchange programme that allows students to spend time in Europe as part of their degree.

But since the UK voted to leave the EU, participation looks uncertain for British students. David Davis, the secretary of state for exiting the EU, is being urged to protect the scheme due to fears that it won’t be at the forefront of Brexit negotiations.

Did you benefit from Erasmus? How did going away shape your future and university experience? What are the benefit or drawbacks of the scheme? Will you be fighting to keep it?
