Temporary disruption to some university online services

Some university services will be temporarily unavailable while we carry out essential security work to protect our systems and information.


As part of our ongoing work to keep University systems and information secure, we will temporarily restrict access to certain websites and online services while our IT teams carry out essential security checks and apply necessary protective measures.

What does this mean for me?

Some University websites and online services may be temporarily inaccessible while this work takes place.

There is no action you need to take at this stage.

When will services be restored?

Our IT teams are working to restore affected services as soon as the necessary security checks and protective measures have been completed. We are unable to confirm an estimated restoration time at present but will provide further updates as more information becomes available.

We apologise for any disruption and appreciate your patience while this essential work takes place.
