European Law students explore post-Brexit issues at Scottish Parliament
Wed 28 January 2026
In January, students on the LLM in European Law programme visited the Scottish Parliament as part of a programme event exploring post-Brexit developments in UK-EU relations.
The visit included a guided tour of the Parliament building, followed by a session with researchers from the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (SPICe). The researchers shared insights into their work supporting parliamentary committees, including their briefings for the Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee.
The discussion covered a range of key topics, including the original Brexit negotiations, intergovernmental cooperation across the UK’s four nations, and the recent ‘reset’ in EU-UK relations under the Labour government. This included the announcement of renewed UK participation in youth mobility schemes such as Erasmus.
The visit offered students a valuable opportunity to deepen their understanding of how post-Brexit legal and political issues are navigated within the UK’s devolved political system.
