Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what support is offered to Sudanese students in the UK who (a) may be unable to return to Sudan due to safety concerns and (b) are facing financial difficulties as a result of the conflict in that country.

Students experiencing financial difficulties should contact their university to discuss their circumstances. Higher education (HE) providers have their own hardship funds to support students who have financial issues and, like domestic students, international students can apply to their provider to access these funds. HE providers also offer a range of dedicated support to their international students pre-arrival, on-arrival and during their studies.

In addition, the UK Council for International Student Affairs offers a range of information and guidance for international students who may be experiencing unexpected financial hardship which can be found here: https://www.ukcisa.org.uk/Information--Advice/Fees-and-Money/Unexpected-financial-hardship.
