HOW ARE OUR DESTINATIONS DOING UNDER THE COVID-19 SITUATION?

The COVID19 pandemic must be addressed individually in each destination, as the situation is often very different.

Student safety is our highest priority, but it is essential that the students feel comfortable and welcome in our destinations, even during the most turbulent times. To make these ideas come true, we have negotiated extended application deadlines with our partner universities, implemented even more flexible terms & conditions, and most importantly, thoroughly made sure that our partner universities are safe, prepared, and welcoming for you.

We will continue to stay in close exchange with our partner universities, universities in your country, and most importantly, with the students in our destinations at the very moment. We hope that we can also help you find the perfect destination for the adventure of your life! Stay safe, and don’t hesitate to contact us at any time at info@beyondabroad.org or +358 45 322 1230 (Mon – Fri 3am-6pm UTC+3).

For more than a decade, from the first day of its existence, Beyond Abroad and its sister companies have run programs all over Southeast Asia and have prioritized students’ safety and health over everything else. We carefully handpicked our partner institutions and built excellent relations with key contacts in each destination. Some of our contact persons have even agreed to be available for our students at any time. Regardless of the development of the global COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to do our best to provide our students with the safest possible study environment abroad.

We will provide students, parents, faculties, and all members of our extensive study abroad network with frequent and relevant updates published on this page.

Beyond Abroad constantly monitors updates from several national and international sources in all our destinations and sending countries. We decided only to follow official announcements from governmental institutions and organizations like the WHO to avoid spreading false information of any kind. We also regularly consult the host universities that advise us on the risks associated with traveling to the countries of the host universities and monitor advice from local authorities.

Beyond Abroad’s employees are based in various countries worldwide and working remotely for the time being. While we are doing our best to overcome these unfortunate times hand in hand with our partners, we cannot deny noticing an impact on our ability to complete day-to-day operations. Thus, we would like to apologize for any delays in communication.

We appreciate your patience with Beyond Abroad as we face many ongoing concerns associated with this situation, from many directions and about several destinations. Global health information and related travel restrictions are changing fast and often nowadays. We always share information with our best knowledge about the current COVID-19 situation in our destinations whenever we receive confirmed information, without delay, and to our best knowledge.  We at Beyond Abroad will regularly inform our students, parents, and institutions about our destination countries and the host universities activities regarding the COVID-19 pandemic on this page.

We also focus on reliable and trusted sources for information and recommend anyone to follow a similar approach. Both WHO and national health institutes have excellent up-to-date information regarding COVID-19.

Please feel free to inform your parents and guardians that they can email us, give us a phone call, or request a meeting on any other communication channel with a working professional at Beyond Abroad. We speak English, French, German, Swedish, and more! We are here for you and calling you is not a problem for us.
