In light of the recent developments and outbreaks of the corona- or COVID-19 virus, numerous universities have made adjustments and are taking preliminary precautions. In addition to these decisions there are a lot of questions. You also might wonder how this affects your study abroad search, especially for the coming intake in September 2020.
That’s why the team of The Study Abroad Portal decided to write this blog post, to answer some of your questions and hopefully take away some of your worries.
So how does this situation affect your new study abroad in 2020?
First of all, due to this pandemic that is COVID-19, may universities decided to close campuses and might even have cancelled classes. However, this does not mean the end of your new journey, as firstly there are numerous possibilities for the universities to continue lessons online or through other means of use and they are working hard to keep things going!
Secondly, since you are likely searching for new Study Abroad opportunities from September onwards, this might already be controlled to a large extend. We therefore encourage you to simply sign up to the Online Open Days, ask questions and get more information!
Although at the time of writing the time of lockdown is still unsure, the first signs of recover in mainly China are already happening (reportingly 96% is recovered/ discharged).
