The University continues to monitor the advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), Public Health England (PHE), the British Council and World Health Organisation (WHO) following the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus originating in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.

As is consistent with the latest FCO and British Council advice, we are postponing all study, research and work-related travel to China and advising all staff and students against making any trips for personal reasons.

The government has stated that the UK is extremely well prepared for any potential outbreak of an infectious disease.

Please find current updates on the University’s position on the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak here.

We would also recommend that you check for updates on the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) website as they provide information from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), the Department for Education (DfE) as well as general support for international students.

If you are concerned that any absences will affect your immigration status, please read the FAQs for further information. Please note that absences not relating to illness will not be authorised. Tier 4 students are still expected to abide by the terms and conditions of sponsorship and as such should notify the relevant departments as per information in the FAQs.”
