<p>The UK National Information Centre for the recognition and evaluation of international
qualifications and skills (ENIC) provides expert advice on the comparability of international
qualifications at all levels of education with those of the UK, on behalf of the government.
ENIC maintains an extensive database of international qualifications and education
systems, including for Ukraine, and is fully prepared to assess and advise on the
comparability of Ukrainian and other refugees’ qualifications.</p><p>Organisations
and individuals can apply for a Statement of Comparability through the standard UK
ENIC portal. Within the portal, there is provision for individuals to be able to identify
as refugees, which allows more flexibility for document submissions. Many organisations,
including education institutions and employers, also subscribe to the UK ENIC service
and use its database when assessing applications.</p><p>Higher education (HE) providers
are autonomous institutions, independent from government, and they are responsible
for their own admissions policies. The department has made clear to providers that
they should be as flexible as possible when considering applications for students
with difficult circumstances, such as those from Ukraine, and would encourage students
to speak to their desired HE provider about their personal situation directly.</p>
