"Further on-campus events are being postponed and expected attendees will be contacted directly. Campus will otherwise remain open, some services will need to be adjusted in line with current and emerging government advice.

"Students have been informed that they are welcome to return home if they wish to do so. Face-to-face teaching is currently planned to continue until Friday 20 March. Students needing or wishing to stay on campus will be supported.
