Hi UKEC folks,

Since it's already August, you must've been busy with your last decision with the choice of universities and courses. 

This year, there are more things that you need to consider due to the ongoing pandemic. 

Therefore, we've gathered some university news to make your decision making process a lot easier. 

Scroll down to find out information about quarantine supports, Clearing for September 2021 intake and online course availability. 

<University of Loughborough>

As you all may know, Loughborough University is famous for the quality of education provision and our UK campus experience.  However, there will be some students may have problems travelling to the UK in time for the start of term on 4 October, or may have to complete a quarantine period at the start of term. To help with this, Loughborough University decided to provide online degree courses from October, if required. 

Students who choose to study online initially must be able to start their studies in person from the start of Semester 2 on 7 February 2022. Due to the excellent nature of their student experience, students at Loughborough University are strongly encouraged  to take up their studies on campus as soon as they possibly can.

More information about this can be found on their official website. 

<Aberystwyth University>

We have good news for students interested in Clearing for September 2021 intake. Aberystwyth University is available during Clearing for international students, and there is still time to submit applications for September 2021 entry. International students with all qualifications will be more than welcomed to join.
