Answers to all of your concerns about COVID-19

How will COVID-19 impact your studies abroad

International universities accept online applications as usual. Both EDMUNDO and the international admissions teams are working hard to ensure all applications are being processed as normal. The teams are able to work remotely, so there should be minimal impact on the progress of your application.

Universities worldwide are aware that there will be a significant impact on many of our applicants’ preparation and final exam completion. International universities representatives have confirmed that academic entry criteria are likely to become more flexible and that universities will do all they can to support future students and to ensure they can progress to higher education.

In order to counteract the effects of language centres being closed worldwide, universities have adapted by offering free alternative online English testing means in order for students to be able to fulfil the universities’ English language requirements for admission to bachelor and master programmes. Similarly, you will be able to book and sit recognized English exams with your counsellor at the EDMUNDO office or even online from your home, once we resume our office activity.

It is vital to stay informed during these rapidly-changing circumstances that affect all of us, while also being proactive towards your future and education. The COVID-19 situation is temporary and even though its effects will be complex and manifold, it is the more important to keep an eye for your aademic future. Many educational facilitators have moved their activity online so try to use the time at home constructively.

Universities abroad have confirmed that the admission process is likely to become more flexible such as taking into account overall grades rather than the final exam and submitting unofficial documents as proof. Also, many universities offer the alternative to start the academic year in January 2021 and you can read more about January intake in this article: https://edmun.do/en/blog/start-your-studies-abroad-during-the-january-intake/

Most international universities have reassured us of an increased flexibility regarding the required application documents and their format, such as students being able to apply without part of the documents that are normally issued by home high schools/universities or to submit unofficial transcripts/references. Official documents will however be required once the educational institutions worldwide resume their public activity.

As universities are preparing for potential changes to the application cycle, application deadlines may also be extended so it’s important to keep in touch with your counsellor in order to be up to date with any upcoming changes and not miss any important deadlines.

There has been an ongoing shift towards the digital learning enviroment, which means that you can still attend university presentations, workshops and even a massive university fair online in order to stay informed regarding your future decisions.
