The welfare of our 19,000 students alongside that of our 2,600 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 England.
The easing of national restrictions means we can look forward to much more time spent together face to face. We will be maximising students time on campus including in-person teaching and using other facilities, to ensure that the university experience is as productive, sociable and enjoyable as possible.
Our libraries, study spaces, computer suites, sport and fitness facilities and food outlets are all open without restrictions.
