The Education and Universities Ministers from the four countries of the United Kingdom (UK) England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have just released a statement about overseas studies taking place there this fall.

The Ministries say that they will be working with UK universities to ensure that existing processes are as flexible as possible, so that anyone wanting to study in the UK will still be able to do so. Despite disruptions due to the pandemic, they are asking students to begin to prepare for their studies by familarising themselves with requirement for the Tier 4 Student Visa so that visa processing can happen in plenty of time before classes begin.

Learning plans in the UK will be very flexible this year during this crisis

The Ministries are also monitoring worldwide border, travel and public health restrictions to make adjustments to the application and study process as needed. In addition, they are urging students to apply even if they are unable to travel to the UK to meet the usual timeline. Universities will be flexible this year in accommodating circumstances where possible to that the quality education that the UK is famous for, will still be delivered to the many thousands of International Students who study there each year.

To insure the safety of students and staff, all international arrivals are now required to self isolate for 14 days upon arrival and to provide contact and accommodation information upon arrival to the UK. It is now a legal requirement to wear a face covering on public transport. In addition you are advised to do so wherever social distancing cannot be practiced.

Another safeguard for students is the availability of the National Health Service to both domestic and international students. International students can access care without any upfront cost and no charges apply to testing for Covid-19.

If you have any questions about your upcoming studies you are urged to contact your host university or your education agent in your home country. If you wish to get information on applying from Canada, please contact Canadian agent Barclay Educational Services by emailing Jackie at JSB@barclayedu.com Safe studies and stay well!

University of Stirling’s Research Could Help Reduce the Number of Young Smokers

Research conducted at the University has informed tobacco policy and legislation in the UK and worldwide. The Institute found point-of-sale marketing of tobacco, including tobacco display racks, directly influences consumer behaviour.

A display ban on tobacco was implemented successfully in large shops and supermarkets between 2012 and 2013, with smaller shops required to comply by 2015.

Now new research published in 2019, shows that the ban on point-of-sale tobacco displays has had a significant reduction in youth smoking susceptibility. The study, published in the British Medical Journal’s Tobacco Control, examined the impact of the policy on 11-16-year-olds who had never smoked.

Smoking susceptibility among never smokers decreased from 28 percent pre-ban to 23 percent mid-ban, and 18 percent post-ban. Store customers who noticed cigarettes at point-of-sale decreased from 81 percent pre-ban, to 28 percent post-ban. In addition, the research shows that cigarette brand awareness was also reduced, with the average number of cigarette brands recalled declining from 0.97 pre-ban to 0.69 post-ban. The study also found that 90% of those surveyed supported the display ban.

The work of the Institute played a key role in the UK Government’s decision to introduce standardised (or plain) packaging of cigarettes in 2017. A recent study, funded by Cancer Research UK and led by the Institute’s Dr Crawford Moodie, shows the impact of standardised packaging. It found that smokers are more likely to notice and attend to the health warnings on standardised packs than on fully-branded packs, and more likely to think about the risks of smoking and about quitting because of standardised packs. This important insight feeds into a global effort to measure the effectiveness of changes to the way tobacco is marketed.

The University of Stirling’s Research ranks among the top research-intensive universities in the UK i a variety of areas including; health and wellbeing, the environment and people, culture and society, enterprise and the economy, as well as sport.
