As we continue to monitor the evolving situation in the Middle East, our primary focus remains the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff, and partners across the region.
In times of uncertainty, the strength of our network lies in our collaboration. We are in constant dialogue with our Study Centres on the ground and our partner, the University of Birmingham Dubai, to provide the necessary flexibility and operational guidance required to maintain academic continuity to our students across the region.
We also recognise that the impact of these events is felt deeply across our entire global community. Many of our students and colleagues have cherished personal and cultural ties to the region, and our thoughts are with everyone navigating this difficult period.
NCUK remains dedicated to ensuring every student, staff and partner feels supported in the best way possible. If you require any assistance regarding your studies or current circumstances, please contact your Centre Manager, who will act as your primary link to our central support teams.
