Impact of Covid-19 on students - UoS

Hi!

STAR and Universities of Sanctuary are currently collecting research for a report on the support offered by the higher education sector for students from a refugee background during the Covid-19 crisis.

It would be really helpful to hear the experiences of University students from a refugee background, or those who are in the process of applying to University this year to guide the report. The information you provide can be used to help Universities understand where they may need to provide more support for students in the future.

Let us know if you have any questions, and thank you for your help!
