  • As the semester resumes, watch the latest video update with the most recent information for students from our Vice-President for Education, Professor Wyn Morgan.
  • The University Library is hosting a Copyright Forum on Monday 27 April, covering how temporary changes to copyright can assist remote teaching. More details in our Staff FAQs along with advice about managing information security whilst working from home, right to work eligibility and the new arrangements for sending/receiving business post.
  • We have updated the Student FAQs with information for students planning a year in industry or study abroad placement and have questions about how any changing plans will affect their student finance.
  • Our research and innovation highlights all the amazing research our colleagues are doing to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on society, with a rapid response through innovative research and collaboration
  • We have introduced a safety net policy for all exams and assessments due to take place. This will recognise the value of marks students have already achieved up to March 2020 for assessed work. This means that no student who passes the year will receive an average mark or overall degree class lower than their current overall mark or degree class.
  • Government advice states that people must stay at home and should only leave for one of four reasons: shopping for basic necessities, including food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible; one form of exercise a day - alone or with members of your household; any medical need or to provide care for a vulnerable person; and travelling to and from essential work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home. It is absolutely imperative that staff and students adhere to this.
  • Student travel home within the UK is no longer classed as essential. Students should remain where they are currently living and follow social distancing rules - see advice for current students for more information.
  • Staff carrying out business critical work that requires them to be on campus - where there is a significant consequence to health, safety and welfare if the work cannot continue - should have been notified and must carry a valid photo ID/UCard with them at all times.
  • Stay at home for seven days if you have a high temperature and/or a new continuous cough. Anyone sharing your household will need to also stay at home for 14 days from when you first developed symptoms.
  • The best defence to prevent the spread of coronavirus continues to be good hand hygiene practices and social distancing.
