In 2020, there were 16,437 UK higher education student mobilities through Erasmus+. Of these, 75.8% were from England, 16.5% from Scotland, 4.3% from Wales, and 3.4% from Northern Ireland. Participation was lower than in preceding years, likely due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
