The Government has announced that most university courses must be online only for the first few weeks of 2021, to reduce the risk of Covid.
Following the recent Government announcement, students other than those on the education and health and social care courses listed below, will receive online-only teaching activity until mid February.
We plan to re-start face-to-face teaching activity, and induction activities for new students, in mid-February, but these plans may need to change following further advice from the government.
While it is disappointing to have to pause face-to-face teaching for so many of you, it's what we have been required to do by the government, and it is the right thing to do to support reduction in transmission of the virus.
