Mitchell and Joan aren't satisfied after having watched the season finale.

John Griffiths AM: We certainly do not expect you to enter the political fray in any way Dr David Blaney: Thank you But even in terms of your assessment of whether this is going to be a good thing or a bad thing a good impact or a bad impact some of that inevitably in the end becomes a matter of your politics on it so we will be as careful as we can be on that In terms of the impact of Brexit on higher education clearly the significance here is about the contribution that higher education can make to Wales So we fund provision we do not fund providers technically although obviously there is not much provision without providers So we are interested in the sustainability of higher education providers but fundamentally the issue is : what does the HE system in Wales do for Wales and what impact might Brexit have on the capacity of the system to continue to deliver for Wales ? So we know that universities make annually about £5 billion of impact 50000 jobs Of course in Wales all of that economic impact is really very significant and uncertainty about the relationships and the arrangements with Europe is one of the most significant issues confronting university management at the moment That has an impact in a number of ways We can identify at the moment the extent to which the HE sector in Wales is exposed to sources of income that are located from the EU so EU students structural funds and EU research funding and so on from the EU We can identify some of that but actually what happens in the future is much harder to be clear about We are beginning to see some impact in terms of applications from EU students and I will ask Bethan to share some details on that in a moment We are also beginning to pick up only anecdotally some signs that there are increasing difficulties in the UK sector and the Welsh sector as part of that in playing in some of the EU collaborative research activities And that I think just reflects the extent to which EU partners consider that British partners might be a stable partner as we go through this transition period We do not have data on that—that is anecdotal—but there are signs that some of those relationships are beginning to become a little bit more difficult In terms of the financial impact of that clearly if it is accepted that the UK is a net contributor to the EU then presumably some of the money—we are almost immediately straight into politics if you are not careful—but some of the money will be available back to the UK and the extent to which Wales benefits or not from that returned money is a function of the political relationship between the Welsh Government and Her Majestys Government It is not necessarily the case that Wales will always lose out in that relationship but that will become a matter of politics There is a broader dimension which is about the economic impact of Brexit on the UK economy and how much tax revenue there is and all of that I think it is very hard for us to be definitive about how that is going to play out I think that depends on the deal and how it all unfolds over the next several years But we can certainly anticipate some turbulence and exactly how that plays for institutions remains to be seen We can touch later on on the extent to which they are sighted on this and preparing for it So in terms of recruitment Bethan Bethan Owen: This is based on the UCAS applications and the report that was published at the end of June 30 June The European Uniondomiciled applicants to Wales have decreased by 8 per cent which contrasts with a 2 per cent increase for English institutions and nonEU—so international students not from Europe—have also decreased by 9 per cent to Welsh institutions again contrasting with a 7 per cent increase in England So those are the signs of changes

First, the economic impact of Brexit is shown in a number of ways, like the extent to which the HE sector in Wales is exposed to sources of income that are located from the EU. We can also see some changes in students' applications and in increasing difficulties of the EU collaborative research activities. In terms of the financial impact, if it is accepted that the UK is a net contributor to the EU then, presumably, some of Wales' money will go straight into politics, and the benefits are unknown, which will become a matter of politics. In terms of recruitment, both European Union-domiciled applicants to Wales and non-EU international students decreased, who applied to Welsh institutions. While the number for both groups of students who apply to English universities increased.
