Class of 2020
Dear Class of 2020,
In the light of the May 2020 exams being canceled, we are looking for resources and information to help you keep up to date in regard to university admissions. Many institutions around the world are already taking measures to support students affected by the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
In the next weeks, we will be updating this information as often as necessary. Remember, the university of your interest will be the most relevant source of information. Check the university websites, look for webinars and live chats, and make sure you read your e-mail. If you have questions or need advice - please get in touch with your academic counsellor.
