University of Greenwich 23rd June 2020
College Status: Face to Face Classes Suspended until next term, Online Classes Continue.
Admission for September 2020 is open.
The University of Greenwich will be using a blended teaching model next term. This means that we are combining face to face sessions on campus with online lectures. Your course will have the usual amount of teaching time and include lectures, seminars/discussions and practical work (where this is part of your course) and will be a mixture of on and off-campus classes, depending on your individual course (and your ability to attend due to your personal circumstances).
Halls of residence, libraries and social spaces will reopen but you can expect to see some additional health and safety measures, for instance; fewer people being allowed in smaller spaces at the same time, hand sanitiser points and one-way systems inside our buildings to help you to follow the government’s advice about social distancing.

Admission for June (Online) and September 2020 is open.
The University of Dundee is planning to re-open their campuses in good time for the start of the next academic year, with teaching to start from October 5 2020. The University plans to re-open the physical campus gradually over the summer with management of social distancing, in line with Scottish Government guidance. This will require all staff and students to follow new guidance about how to work, study and move through the University buildings and campus spaces to ensure everyone’s safety.
Plans for October will continue to be communicated as they evolve. Over the summer there are likely to be changes to the guidance from governments on travel, social distancing, and how the University can operate. You can follow the latest updates from the Scottish Government here.

De Montfort University 30th June 2020
College Status: Face to Face Classes Suspended until next term, Online Classes Continue.
Admission for June (Online) and September 2020 is open.
In the last few days, there has been a rise in the number of people testing positive for COVID-19 in Leicester. To make sure that this rise is quickly controlled, the Government has, in response, agreed that current restrictions will not be eased in Leicester for another two weeks, until 18 July.
These are sensible, preventative measures to make sure our city is as safe as possible and the Government has said the situation will be reviewed in two weeks. The key advice is to limit travel in and out of Leicester to essential journeys only and to stay at home where possible, in line with Government guidelines.
DMU has already been putting into place a number of measures in line with national guidelines to make sure the campus is as safe as possible for the planned return to campus on 5 October. This will allow students and staff to return while safely observing social distancing guidelines and preventing the spread of infection. These measures include thorough safety and hygiene measures across our buildings, such as hand sanitiser points, signage, one-way systems, and enhanced cleaning measures. But for the next two weeks at least, under these new guidelines, people should avoid visiting campus unless absolutely essential.
