In October, the University hopes to welcome upwards of 20 students affected by the war on Ukraine. They will be funded by a range of scholarships including The , which is a programme established by the to support undergraduate and postgraduate students applying to study at �������������Ī from a conflict zone.

The Rowan Williams Scholarships will be fully-funded covering tuition fees and maintenance and will also assist with students’ upfront expenses such as travel, visa costs and the immigration health surcharge. The �������������Ī Trust is working with other funders to maximise the number of offers we can make. All recipients of these funds must have a conditional offer from the University to be considered for funding.

The School of Clinical Medicine has made a twinning agreement with Kharkiv National Medical University to accept medical students on six week clinical placements in �������������Ī. Students will be placed at either �������������Ī University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust or �������������Īshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust. Each student will be hosted by a member of the University or one of the hospitals, who have volunteered to provide accommodation during their visit. Ten students will take part initially, with further cohorts expected to follow. The first students are expected to arrive within the next one to two months, subject to the government granting visiting visas.

The Collegiate University has so far submitted two applications to the British Academy and Council for At-Risk Academics (Cara) . If successful, the fellowships will bring two scholars and their dependents to �������������Ī for up to two years. These applications were generously supported by Darwin College and Trinity College.

The University is also��in conversations with Ukrainian institutions to establish non-residential scholarships for up to fifteen Ukrainian scholars who have been displaced by the war and are living in Ukraine or neighbouring countries. The scholarships will provide a stipend, formal links to �������������Ī academics and remote access to resources that will enable them to continue academic study.

Some 21 students currently studying in �������������Ī have been identified as having been directly affected by the war. They are being supported through the University’s .

In response to conversations with Ukrainian university representatives, the University Library and �������������Ī University Press and Assessment are identifying specific ways in which they can assist in partnership with their national professional bodies. �������������Ī University Press and Assessment has made the majority of its academic journal content free to institutions registered in Ukraine.

Additional programmes are in development, and the University remains ready to sponsor and host displaced doctoral students and academic staff as soon as the government visa scheme enables the University to act as a visa sponsor.��Thank you to those University institutions that have come forward with offers of support.

“I have been heartened by the generosity displayed by colleagues across �������������Ī who have raised funds or proposed activities to support those affected by the tragic war on Ukraine," said��Professor Kamal Munir, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for University Community and Engagement.��"I know many within the University have worked tirelessly to put these programmes in place and we will continue to identify opportunities for the Collegiate University to provide further support in the medium to long-term.”
