Under the COVID-19 epidemic, many international flights have been grounded, and for international students who want to live and study abroad, the study abroad and visa policies and official specific arrangements have become a key link behind them. Recently, British universities offered chartered flight, a student from China, to facilitate their return to school to complete their studies.

On September 19, 369 international students from China arrived in the UK by chartered flight from Queen's University Belfast, which was the first university in the UK to help international students return to school.

It is reported that at present, more than 20 universities in the UK have joined forces to provide chartered flight services for China students studying in the UK. In terms of visas, the British government announced that China students will be treated equally with EU students, with no additional conditions. After that, the students will fly from their motherland to Manchester in time when the school starts at the end of September.

Extended data

Some countries give international students a "green light" during the epidemic.

In addition to Britain, there are also countries that "give the green light" to international students during the epidemic. Sheridan College recently stated that during the COVID-19 epidemic, international students, like other students, will refund their tuition fees this semester if they are not satisfied with the online teaching method.

Australia also plans to introduce a series of policies to help international students, but with the continuous blockade of its borders, it has had a certain impact on the economy, and the preliminaries of Australian universities have decreased.

Phil Honeywood, CEO of the International Education Association of Australia, said that a large number of international students will leave Australia due to the epidemic in the first semester of next year, which is a very dangerous problem. Honeywood said: "At present, a small number of international students tend to go to other countries. If we don't take action as soon as possible, these seemingly insignificant trends will become a huge driving force. "

According to the data released by the Australian Interior Ministry, in the year ending in June, applications from Indian, Nepalese and China to study in Australia decreased by 46%, 60% and 20% respectively compared with the previous year. At present, Australian universities are struggling to cope with the sharp drop in income caused by border closure, and the decrease in international students is undoubtedly worse.
