Dear international students,
The spread of the Covid-19 virus has created an unprecedented situation across the world. Many countries are now in lockdown, creating a massive shift in the way we work, and study.
This is a time of great worry for all of us, worry about our loved ones, worry about the people we can’t see face-to-face, worry about whether we can complete our studies, or work remotely, worry about our health and wellbeing. We understand this is an even more anxious time for you because you are way from home and having to deal with the challenges of this lockdown without the support of your families.
In this unprecedented crisis, please remember that we are here for you. We will support you in any way we can to cope with the challenges posed by Covid 19.
