Abstract

In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the UK has issued Ukraine Family Scheme and Sponsorship Scheme visas to help people seek safety. This project aimed to explore how Ukrainians who have arrived to England during the current Russian war in Ukraine have been navigating the challenges they encounter in the pursuit of their place in the higher education sector in England as students or members of academic staff (e.g., lecturers, researchers).
We collected 11 personal testimonies of individuals who have been seeking to access and/or effectively participate in the higher education sector specifically in England (i.e., not Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland) as students of any level, mode or type of provision (e.g., Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD; full-time/part-time) and members of academic staff. These interviews took place in late spring 2023.
It is hoped that this Oral History Archive will contribute to raising public awareness of the opportunities and challenges in the experiences of accessing higher education in England for the Ukrainians whose lives have been impacted by the Russian invasion and who have relocated to England, even if temporarily. It is also hoped that this Archive is going to inspire further action from relevant and interested parties to tackle the multiple interconnected and persisting challenges that Ukrainian refugees continue facing.
This project was funded by Quality Research funding from Nottingham Trent University.
The overarching research design of the project was informed by BERA (2018) Research Ethics Guidelines. It also received a favourable ethics decision from the Schools of Business, Law and Social Sciences Research Ethics Committee (BLSS REC) at Nottingham Trent University.
