Education pathways

A variety of options to study in a country other than your country of asylum exist. The Opportunities site includes many programmes for study in another country that meet the basic protection needs of refugees, namely, prevention of refoulement and access to international protection. Some programmes also provide more comprehensive support for refugee students to ensure their success. It is crucial that you consider those aspects of a higher education programme in another country that may impact your safety and your success in the progammes. More information can be found here.

UNHCR does not participate in the selection process, but we and our partners assist in the application process by providing access to laptops and internet, and, if you receive a job offer, we may be able to facilitate travel documents and exit formalities.
