Why is the University closed?

As the situation with Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to escalate, and inline with Government guidance, we have made the decision to temporarily close all of our Conferencing and Event space. These measures are to help with social distancing and protect both our staff, students and guests.

Do you know when the University will reopen?

The University will remain closed until further notice. We will continue to follow Government advice around when to safely reopen and will keep you updated.
