The health, safety and wellbeing of our staff and students is our key priority and our return to campus is being managed in such a way to adhere to public health guidelines and protect our University community.

8 January - Following this afternoon’s update from the Scottish Government, we are now in a position to clarify what the latest Covid restrictions will mean for our students in trimesters two and three. Get all the details here​.

As we are now back in lockdown, you'll find updated guidance regarding working from home for all colleagues here (updated 6 January) and guidance for managers here​ (updated 6 January).

Please contact HR if you require a statement of eligibility to evidence you are permitted to travel during Tier 4 restrictions for the purpose of education in line with SG Guidance. Note that this is different to having key worker status to enable access to childcare, which is currently being reviewed by the Scottish Government.
