Brexit: Guidance for students and 蜜桃app centres

by

The UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020 and is currently working on a Withdrawal Agreement. The transition period for this ends on 31 December 2020. As we understand that some 蜜桃app students may be worried about being eligible to apply to the UK, our Progression and Recognition Manager has brought together resources from the UK higher education sector to help you advise students and their parents about what Brexit means for them:

No change to the acceptance of 蜜桃app qualifications at UK universities

  • UK NARIC has endorsed our听,听听补苍诲听听for degree progression and our BTEC Higher Nationals and BTEC Level National qualifications remain regulated by Ofqual, the qualifications regulator in England. UK NARIC explains that听, even with a 鈥榥o deal鈥� departure from the European Union. This means that all of our qualifications will continue to be valued and accepted by UK universities for undergraduate admission following the UK鈥檚 departure from the EU.
  • University and College Admission Service (UCAS) also collates听听applying to universities in each of the four UK governments. There are also no expected changes to the existing status of 蜜桃app鈥檚 international qualifications on the UCAS application tool.
  • Some UK universities have produced specific Brexit-related guidance for prospective students web pages, such as听听补苍诲听, which provide the most up to date advice for that institution. If students already know which universities they want to go, they can see what they are saying about the Brexit decision on their websites.

Fees and student support

  • Read Universities UK International (UUKi)鈥檚听听who are planning to study at a UK university in the upcoming and future academic years.
  • The UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) has published guidance about the听tuition fee status of EU students and immigration arrangements听for the three upcoming academic years, designed to provide students and their families with the best advice.
  • 罢丑别听听for the latest guidance for EU students
  • Stay up-to-date with听听in relation to the Brexit decision

We hope you find these resources useful. If you have other questions relating to the progression of 蜜桃app students after Brexit, please contact us at听progression@pearson.com.
