With September upon us, the leaves are beginning to turn golden; crisp, blue mornings are becoming more frequent; and shorter evenings mean we need to wrap up warm. It’s also time to focus our minds on the challenges of a new academic year. The global pandemic has created much uncertainty, but we are proud to remember that the University of East London has been pioneering futures since 1892. Through two world wars, social revolutions and a great many upheavals, our long history shows we have a spirit of resilience. As we embrace the challenges and opportunities of a post-Covid-19 world, we can be confident we are ready to move forward into the fourth industrial age. As we adapt to the ‘new normal’, keeping our community safe is our top priority. We continue to be robust and innovative in implementing the necessary steps to ensure we deliver this successfully. In addition to the information featured in this guide, please ensure you study our Covid-secure campus guidelines ahead of the new year.
