This week we receive a large number of questions about the possibilities of foreign study and travel, given the current world situation. We have tried to prepare for you the most relevant and useful information at the moment.
Higher education
All the news about the exclusion and non-admission of foreign students to study at foreign universities turned out to be fake. The ministries of education of all EU countries, as well as the UK, USA, Canada and Australia, said that the current situation will not affect the learning processes of both current students and only applicants.
At the moment, the priority areas for foreign students are:
Also available destinations:
- Ireland,
- Germany,
- France,
- USA
- Spain,
- Austria,
- Australia,
- Poland (but the embassy complicated the rules of admission),
- Italy,
- UAE,
- Netherlands,
- Sweden,
- Portugal,
- Finland,
- Norway,
- South Korea.
Acceptance of documents to universities and student visas is carried out in the standard mode. Universities send letters of support and assurances that students will not be subject to any sanctions.
Secondary education
Taking into account the complexity of the situation with flights, many foreign schools will meet students halfway and allow them to stay at school during the next spring break.
School principals send written and video messages with words of support, saying that they will do everything possible so that children do not become hostages of the world situation.
Submission and issuance of student visas to the EU countries and the UK is carried out in the standard mode.
Available destinations:
- United Kingdom
- Canada
- Switzerland
- UAE
- Austria
- Ireland
- Spain
- Italy
- USA
- Australia
- Portugal
- France
- Sweden
- Norway.
Summer camps and language courses
Despite the ban on flights, many countries leave the opportunity to apply for tourist visas. For example, Italy from March 1 reopened its visa centers for submissions.
Schools and camps continue to enroll students in programs after a two-year pause and will be ready to accept children from all over the world.
Directions for short-term programs:
- United Kingdom
- UAE
- Ireland
- USA (if you have a B1/B2 visa)
- Cyprus (only if there is already an open Schengen visa, on which you have already been to the Schengen countries),
- Australia.
