As a significant number of our international students studying on the Blended Learning programme may be unable to join us for the on-campus Foundation Week due to ongoing Covid travel restrictions, we have taken the decision to deliver the Foundation Week online for the 2021/22 academic year. This means that it will not be necessary for international students to travel to our UK campus in October 2021. Delivery will continue online via our virtual learning platform after that date for our Blended Learning students until the next intensive face-to-face block session in February 2022.
