Support for Students Studying or Planning to Study in the U.S.
Contents of page
On May 22, 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced the suspension of specific visa-related programs enabling international students to study at institutions such as Harvard University. This unexpected policy change has created significant uncertainty for many students currently studying in the United States or preparing to begin their studies there.
At our university, we are committed to supporting the academic aspirations of talented and motivated individuals. In response to this situation, we are offering dedicated support for affected students who are currently enrolled in, or planning to study at, U.S. universities.
We invite those impacted by the recent policy changes to explore opportunities available at our institution.
