As a result, uncertainty about what the withdrawal will mean for Welsh businesses, jobs and families is confusing many people in the country.<br \/>\nIn the same city as the vote took place, thousands of students from EU countries are wondering about their futures here, uncertain of what their status will be post-Brexit.<br \/>\nThe Welsh Government has announced that an undergraduate from an EU country will pay the same for tuition as a Welsh student for their whole course if it begins before the end of the transition period in 2020.<br \/>\nThe transition period is the time it will take for the UK to leave the EU after Brexit in March 2019. Should students wish to remain in the UK after this date, they will have to apply for settled status by June 2021. Beyond that, there is little clarity.<br \/>\nKirsty Williams, Cabinet Secretary for Education for the Welsh Government, said of the recent fee commitment: \u201cOur universities are central to our social and economic future, which value and celebrate their links with Europe, and thrive through the diversity of the people who come to them.\u201d<br \/>\nAt the same time, the Welsh government has earmarked \u00a33.5m of the \u00a350m Brexit transition fund to promote Welsh Universities worldwide, with Vietnam and the US identified as two key targets.<br \/>\n\u201cIn a post-Brexit\u00a0world\u00a0we need to make sure that our higher education sector continues to reach out to new and emerging markets,\u201d said Kirsty Williams.<br \/>\nThe Welsh Government appears to be as concerned over the future of EU students in the UK as the students themselves are.<br \/>\nAna Garc\u00eda Espinosa, 24, from Madrid, is studying an MA Ancient History at Cardiff University. Ana has been living in the city since September, fulfilling a dream of studying in Britain she has had since she was a teenager.<br \/>\n\u201cI am concerned, I think every EU student is. One of the major concerns I have is funding, as someone who is hoping to do a PhD,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nAna told me she is worried that the scholarships currently available through the EU will not be open to her after Brexit, or that visa restrictions may stop her from continuing her studies here.<br \/>\nFigures obtained from Cardiff University show that applications from EU students have reduced from 3,749 for the academic year 2016\/17 to 3,030 in 2018\/9, a fall of over 19%.<br \/>\nA recent report by London Economics \u2013 one of Europe\u2019s biggest economic policy consultancies &#8211; forecasts that once the caps on the amount EU students can be charged for tuition are removed, when the UK leaves the union, the numbers of EU students coming to UK universities could drop by up to 57%, costing British universities as much as \u00a324million in lost revenue.<br \/>\nI asked Ana if she thought she had access to enough information about how Brexit will affect her studies and her right to live in the UK.<br \/>\n\u201cCardiff University has part of its webpage with a frequently asked questions about Brexit, but it is surprising that an international university does not contact the students that might be affected more,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nAna introduced me to her course-mate,\u00a0Domiziana\u00a0Rossi, 28, from Rome.\u00a0Domiziana\u00a0is also hoping to study for a PhD in the UK, and shares many of Ana\u2019s concerns.<br \/>\n\u201cI decided to start a new life here after spending two years working as a waitress. I want to keep studying in the UK after Brexit if I can, if I can still find the funding,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nDomiziana\u00a0hopes to stay in the UK as she feels that politics is moving too far to the right in\u00a0Italy, but\u00a0worries that the same thing might happen in the UK after Brexit.<br \/>\n\u201cThe status of EU citizens could become worse here because of Brexit. That might seem like a catastrophic scenario, but I have seen it in Italy with the treatment of African immigrants,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nBoth Ana and\u00a0Domiziana\u00a0are aware that many issues are still to be resolved in the negotiations between the British government and the EU. However, as the fall in the number of EU students applying to Cardiff University since the referendum in 2016 illustrates, universities are already feeling the effects of Brexit.<br \/>\nInstitutions are looking further afield and investing in recruiting new students, but that is providing little reassurance for those EU students who are already here or those who want to come here to study and build a future.<br \/>\nIt is estimated that the 2015\/16 cohort of EU undergraduates, that graduated last summer, contributed \u00a35.1bn to the UK economy, with a cost to public services of \u00a31.1bn. The net contribution from the 11,860 EU and international students from the 2015\/16 cohort was \u00a3151m over the last 3 years.<br \/>\nAna said: \u201cI have heard more about British citizens in Spain, and Spanish workers in the UK, than about students. From my point of view, students are being left in the corner.\u201d<br \/>\nIf the Prime Minister\u2019s Brexit deal is agreed by parliament next week &#8211; the vote will take place in the week commencing 14 January 2019 &#8211; then there will be more clarity for current and future EU students whose right to study here will be protected as part of the agreement. In the event of no deal, the uncertainty may continue for longer yet.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ON\u00a0December 4, 2018, in a vote at the Welsh Assembly in Cardiff Bay, 34 of the 50 Assembly Members (AMs) present voted against Theresa May\u2019s Brexit deal.
