The outbreak of British mutation virus, the "British craze" of art study abroad has gone? New coronavirus has mutated in the UK and its transmission power has soared by 70%. With the current epidemic, where should British art students go? How should international students arrange their future study abroad life at the moment of the epidemic?
Neocoronavirus mutates in Britain
70% surge in communication power
London and other surrounding areas have been closed
European countries have cut off flights with Britain
On December 19, local time, British Prime Minister Johnson solemnly announced that, due to the mutation of COVID-19, the government decided to raise the epidemic prevention level of southeast, east and London and other regions of England to the new fourth level from December 20, local time, in order to curb the spread of COVID-19.
At present, more than 40 countries have suspended flights and trains from the United Kingdom, including Denmark, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, Canada, etc.
In fact, we don't need to be too nervous. The British government's action shows that although the epidemic is serious, the country has begun to pay attention to it We will use all our strength to contain the spread of the virus in the shortest possible time and actively control the epidemic within a limited range.
Where should international students go in the current epidemic situation
A few days ago, QS, a global higher education analysis institution, released a survey report on international students under the epidemic. The report focuses on the analysis of the current teaching methods, the intention to study abroad, and the changes in the school and government policies.
Next, we will analyze one by one, how should the international students arrange their next life abroad at the time of the epidemic?
1. No class suspension, online and offline combination
As of November 2020, most foreign universities still use online teaching mode. A small number of colleges and universities in areas with relatively stable epidemic situation use the combination of online and offline teaching mode, and only 6% of students have received pure offline teaching.

London University of the Arts Previously, I updated the learning suggestions for students on the official website for the suddenly rapid covid-19. I hope you will give priority to online teaching, After the epidemic is stable, the online and offline combination mode will be adopted for professional courses and related activities in school.

Due to the instability of the epidemic, the proportion of people who participate in online teaching is increasing. When the respondents were asked whether they would accept the teaching mode of "six months online+offline", they said that the number of students who accepted it rose from 32% in May to 43% in November, while those who explicitly rejected it chose to delay or reapply in the next year.
2. Only 1% gave up their study abroad plan
Although the overseas epidemic is severe, it cannot stop everyone's yearning for high-quality overseas teaching resources and the pace of realizing artistic dreams.
According to the QS survey data, more than 80% of the respondents said that they would start the learning plan as usual in 2021. Some students may consider the epidemic situation to postpone their enrollment, but the number of students who said they would give up the study abroad plan did not exceed 1%.

At this time point, 71% of the respondents are still in the stage of school selection, 7% have already received offers, and a small number are in the stage of submitting online applications. After working so hard for so long, no one is willing to give up the hard won opportunity to study abroad easily. Moreover, the epidemic will eventually pass, and my artistic dream must be fought for by myself.
Due to the current special circumstances, the British side has not adjusted its policy on the admission of international students, and it is no accident that it has followed the original schedule.
Among the respondents to this QS survey report, nearly 70% of international students believe that 2021 is the ideal time for them to enter the university. Nearly 60% of students plan to enter the university next year, and January 2021 is the appropriate month for them to enter the university. Except for the students who have enrolled in 2020, most of the rest will be delayed to the next year.
3. The inspection is upgraded after returning home. Welcome home
Towards the end of the year, most of the overseas students in the UK have finished their painful study for one semester. With the end of the final week, everyone is looking forward to returning home to start the New Year holiday.
However, the number of confirmed cases in the UK is increasing every day. For overseas students, the way back home from the outbreak of COVID-19 is as difficult as Tang Monk's experience.
Airport passengers must keep a distance of two meters
The domestic epidemic has been under strict control, which can be said to be the best home for global control. In the past year, the country has also been extremely strict in the control of imported cases abroad. First, the passenger routes between the two countries were restricted, and then the nucleic acid testing policy for returning home was also upgraded with the epidemic.
London Heathrow Airport confirmed on the 19th that a detection area of the airport was ready for opening, and only needed the government's approval to change epidemic prevention regulations and permit The immigration personnel shall be tested twice to reduce the isolation time.

At the moment of the epidemic, British colleges and universities also adopted a pacification policy for international students at the first time, allowing students to be patiently isolated at home and pay attention to their own health monitoring.
Everyone's eagerness to return home, especially the students studying abroad, is deeply understood by the country. Even if the number of flights to return home is reduced, the country still provides the most intimate and comprehensive formal channel for each returning Chinese to enter the country.
So students studying in the UK should not panic and rush blindly to return home. Remember not to trust the detection of informal channels. For your own sake and for the sake of the country, no matter how hard the way back home is, the motherland still welcomes you home!
4. Fearless of the epidemic, we have our own countermeasures

In addition, various colleges and universities have constantly adjusted their ddl and application requirements, making it more difficult. In addition, students who have delayed their admission have occupied some places, which puts a lot of pressure on students who apply this time.
