From *Die Welt*, a brief piece on effects of Brexit:

Plötzlich sind Großbritanniens Elite-Unis in Brexit-Nöten

Not all is dire, at least so far, but:

... Die gescheitesten Köpfe bleiben weg
Besonders deutlich wird das nachlassende Interesse bei den
Postgraduierten-Programmen für Studierende in höheren Semestern, die oft
für ausgedehnte Forschungsaufenthalte auf die Insel kommen. Dieser Bereich
verzeichnete einen Rückgang um neun Prozent....


The brightest students stay away

Especially evident: the declining interest of postgraduate programs for
upper level students, who frequently come for extended stays.  This
category has declined about 9%

That also means, of course, fewer students needing housing and so on, and
thus contributing to the economy.

Can this turn around? I've no idea.
