04 March 2026 12:00 (GMT)

The safety and wellbeing of our students remains our highest priority. We understand that the current situation in the Middle East may be concerning for many students and their families. Our Student Services teams across our centres in the UK and Ireland are available to support students, and we encourage anyone with concerns to speak directly with the team at their school.

Students are advised to stay informed through official government and embassy channels. If you are a national of a Middle Eastern country currently studying in the UK or Ireland, we recommend that you register with your embassy or consulate and monitor their websites for the latest travel and security advice.

Students who are planning to travel are advised to check the status of their flights regularly and follow guidance provided directly by their airline. Airlines will contact passengers if flights are rescheduled or cancelled. Please avoid travelling to the airport unless your airline has confirmed that your flight is operating.

If your travel plans change and you need to extend your accommodation in the UK or Ireland, please speak to the Student Services team at your school as soon as possible. Our teams will work with you to help arrange extensions where required and provide guidance during this time.

We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates where necessary. English Path remains committed to supporting all students and partners during this period.
