Dubai: Despite reports of another wave of COVID-19 and related travel restrictions in many countries, UAE-based students are still “keen” to attend university abroad, new data show. According to ‘IDP Applicants Survey’, conducted by IDP Education, more than 90 per cent of students are willing to undergo quarantine in destination countries rather than deferring their plans. Also, according to its ‘IDP Connect Report’, four out of ten students are willing to study online and then transition to face-to-face learning whenever feasible. Meanwhile, one in three students is likely to switch from his or her current study destination to another destination if the university there can later provide face-to-face learning opportunities.
