Your safety and wellbeing is our priority and we have put a range of specific measures in place to ensure you are safe on campus while restrictions are in place. 

This video shows you the changes we've made to make campus Covid secure.

We're working to government and Public Health England advice and considering the needs of the more vulnerable members of our community as part of the process. 

We have updated our Code of Conduct to include our Community pledge to act with empathy and respect whilst on campus and stick to the social distancing guidelines. All students have been asked to accept this when registering.

We’re following social distancing guidelines across the whole campus, including teaching and social spaces. 

That means: 

Maintaining 2m distances at all times 
Spacing out seating and reducing class sizes 
Using a booking system to attend teaching on campus
Changing the way you enter and exit rooms 
Creating one-way routes along stairs and corridors 
Restricting lifts to one person at a time 
Designing campus circulation plans to manage flows of people and to avoid crowds – this includes a ‘keep left’ policy in place at all times 
Designating new entry and exit points to buildings 
Installing signage across campus to remind you of our social distancing guidelines, point you in the direction of support and highlight the need for regular handwashing 
Increasing cleaning operations – starting at 5am each morning and then throughout the day 
Checking and restocking toilets throughout the day, and managing the way they are used to maintain social distancing 
Installing hand sanitiser stations outside every toilet and at every building entrance.
Using removable keyboard covers in our labs and the Library and providing wipes for these to be cleaned during the day 
Adding Perspex screens at service points in the Library and our shops, cafes and restaurants and using cashless payments as a rule 
Promoting the use of face coverings in line with current government guidance, in our library, shops, cafes and restaurants and providing a free reusable face cover for every student
Supporting anyone with symptoms of Covid-19 to self-isolate
Planning for a range of scenarios to ensure your safety – whether that’s further restrictions or a second wave
Supporting vulnerable members of our community, including BAME students
