All students starting studies from January 2021
As a result of new UK Government guidance, and the ongoing challenges that the pandemic has created, we have changed our previous plans regarding the delivery of in-person on-campus teaching. This means that for the vast majority of courses, all teaching and assessment will be entirely online until at least 19 March 2021, which is the end of our second term. Our plan at the moment is that students on these courses will be able to continue their studies in-person at the University when our next term begins on 12 April 2021.
It is essential that even if you are starting your studies online, you complete this form as soon as possible so that we can best support you. It is especially important if you are intending to travel to the University and are staying in our halls of residences, please make sure you complete the form.
Each Faculty Office will need to assess the impact of your arrival date on your studies. They will be in touch as soon as they have the outcome, however this may take a few days, so we thank you in advance for your patience.
To complete this form, you will need to have enrolled, which you can do so by completing step 4 on this website. If you haven’t yet done this, please do so and then return to this page to fill in the form.
Students currently outside the UK
We are aware that the availability of flights continues to be affected for students travelling from overseas. We will be constantly reviewing the situation and will provide timely updates as circumstances change; and will give you good notice so that you can make plans to travel to the UK during our Easter break.
If you have already begun to travel to the University or have pre-booked travel that is non-adjustable, we have lots of support available for you including our Meet and Greet service, accommodation, and will enrol you in our COVID-19 saliva testing programme upon arrival.
If you have not yet booked flights or are able to change your travel plans, the Government guidance is that you should stay at home for now and commence your studies online.
