The Collaboration is Expected to Contribute to EEIQ's Revenue as it Targets International Students Who Plan to Attend University in the UK

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio, March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- EpicQuest Education Group International Limited (NASDAQ: EEIQ), ("EpicQuest Education", "EEIQ" or the "Company"), a provider of higher education for domestic and international students in the US, Canada and the UK, today announced that on March 6, 2024, Davis University ("Davis") received a letter of recognition signifying approval from Northumbria University ("Northumbria") for the transfer of credits of first year international coursework for Davis students. The transfer of credits earned at Davis for course credit at Northumbria expands educational opportunities for Davis students, and it increases revenue for Davis since it targets students who plan to study in the UK to pursue their degree programs.

"We are pleased with to have received recognition from Northumbria for the transfer of credits for our first-year international coursework as it facilitates options for our students to pursue their academic journeys," commented Diane Brunner, President of Davis University. "Our students have flexibility to remain at Davis for our two- or four-year degree programs, and our transfer pathways to top universities around the world gives optimal flexibility to Davis students for their future careers. As the UK is an important international destination for study abroad students, we are glad to advance this opportunity for our students in addition to other schools with whom we collaborate in the US, Europe and Asia."

The recognition by Northumbria stipulates that Davis students who complete its first-year international course with a 'B' average, and who apply to the Northumbria program using normal admissions standards, are eligible for acceptance into eight Northumbria programs. The recognition of the transfer of credits by Davis students is valid for admission to Northumbria for the 2024 – 2025, 2025 – 2026 and 2026 – 2027 academic years.

The US remains the most popular destination for study abroad students with the highest number of international students from around the world. Following the US, the UK is the second most popular destination as it is deemed to have highly reputed colleges and universities, and tuition fees can be lower than such fees are in the US. In terms of country of origin, China and India comprise the most students who study abroad and importantly, these two countries continue to be the Company's primary overseas recruitment target groups.

With the newly announced transfer of credits recognition with Northumbria, the Company is further expanding its core mission of internationalization that spans the spectrum from recruitment to enrollment to the option to transfer credits earned at EpicQuest Education's schools to colleges and universities around the world.
