The interviews took place at Edu-Syria corner on May/16/2018. Students are informed about the ongoing activities to open R-SOS unit. To help planning R-SOS activities, interviews are considered valuable tool to get students needs and expectations of the services to be offered.
Students came from different backgrounds. They indicated some needs that are not strongly available in normal university services, like master scholarships , English language teaching , NGO activities to help with Refugees education like training and job placement.
Most of refugee students have some kind of scholarship, however, other challenges arise like using English in teaching and class activities, tough scholarship condition (high GPA requirement and heavy course load), lack of reliable information about tertiary education opportunities.
