The USW Postgraduate Refugee Sanctuary Scheme provides support to a limited number of eligible refugees via free English language tuition prior to starting an undergraduate course at the University. The bursaries can be used towards pre-sessional courses of 15 weeks or less. The bursaries will be allocated in order of date of complete course and bursary applications, once all have been allocated, the scheme will close.
Please note, due to Covid-19, the English language courses are currently being delivered online only. To enable you to take part in these classes, you will need to already have the equipment needed to participate in online lessons which includes internet connection and a computer with a microphone and camera.
Please note that undertaking full-time study may have an impact on your eligibility for UK government benefits. You are advised to contact the Welsh Refugee Council if you need further advice on this.
