Supporting affected students
Following confirmation of the closure on Monday 14 September, English UK has led a sector-wide effort to help affected students continue their studies with as little disruption as possible.
Members of the English UK team, supported by the Board of Trustees, visited all four UK EC schools and then focused on securing replacement course offers for the 328 affected students.
As of 18:45 on Friday 18 September, all 328 affected students currently in the UK had received a replacement course offer.
A sector-wide response
The response has been made possible by support from across the English UK membership community. Sixty-eight member centres offered places at very short notice, giving students access to replacement study options across the UK. Accommodation providers also worked flexibly to support students while new arrangements were put in place.
English UK would like to thank all member centres, corporate members and partner organisations that offered support, advice or practical assistance.
Work continues
Alongside supporting affected students, English UK is responding to enquiries about future bookings and the implications of the closure for students, agents and partners.
We will continue to support affected students as they move to their replacement courses and keep members and other stakeholders informed.
