What is likely to change in light of COVID-19? The University will continue to be guided by the best advice of local health officials and will continue to adhere to government regulations in order to protect the health of our students, staff and surrounding communities. We will therefore adjust the format of some of our courses and programmes, while maintaining our quality. The integration of oncampus teaching and online delivery will vary from one course to the next. Some will be entirely online. Others, particularly those that entail physical learning or exploratory activities like laboratory or field work, will offer a combination of online and on-campus activity. All on-campus activities will be conducted in keeping with established COVID-19 protocols for public spaces, especially physical distancing, the washing of hands and the wearing of face masks.
