COVID-19: Our response

The welfare of our 18,000 students alongside that of our 2,400 staff remains our highest priority.

Since the start of the pandemic, our approach has been based on official UK government guidance and developed in consultation with Public Health.

In line with government advice and the removal of remaining COVID-19 restrictions in England, the University has now implemented new guidance for colleagues, students, and visitors.

Updated university guidance

Despite the removal of national restrictions, Covid remains a part of life, and there are some good habits that we can all adopt to help us remain safe.

  • Wash or sanitise your hands regularly and ensure workspaces remain well ventilated.
  • Respect everyone’s space, looking out for those wearing red wrist bands to indicate they wish to remain socially distant.
  • Receive both doses of your COVID-19 vaccine and booster as soon as possible
  • Check in on friends and be kind to each other.

We are continuing to monitor the national and local situation closely and will adjust our approach if and when necessary, in line with advice from the government and our local Director of Public Health.

We are currently updating our FAQs to reflect the latest government guidance. Updated documents will be available here shortly.
