The University of East London has responded to the refugee crisis currently=
 gripping Europe by committing to offer ten postgraduate scholarships to Sy=
rian refugees. The scholarships will cover all academic fees.<br>
<br>
The move comes after the UK Government announced it would allow 20,000 Syri=
an refugees to settle in the country over the next five years.<br>
<br>
Tens of thousands of Syrian men, women and children have been desperately m=
aking their way to Europe this summer to escape war and persecution in thei=
r homeland.<br>
<br>
Charities and local authorities have been quick to respond to the escalatin=
g crisis. In east London, the London Borough of Newham Council has already =
announced it will provide accommodation for ten Syrian families.<br>
<br>
As a leading centre for the study of forced migration and refugees, the Uni=
versity of East London is offering the new arrivals the opportunity to buil=
d a successful future in the UK by studying free of charge for a postgradua=
te degree.<br>
<br>

ple,=E2=80=9D said UEL=E2=80=99s Vice-Chancellor, Professor John Joughin. =

y diverse areas in the capital. This is mirrored in our University, where w=
