C0VID-19: Graduate School updates (13 October 2020)

We have been monitoring updates on C0VID-19 closely and in light of the conditional movement control order (CMCO) as well as campus closure from 14 – 27 October 2020, we are providing our postgraduate community this one-off update of how we at the Graduate School will be operating in the next two weeks.

The University is regularly updating advice and general FAQs on C0VID-19 on its web page. See more

The Vice Provost (Research and Knowledge Exchange) is also contributing to a more detailed page with guidance for postgraduate research students and research staff. See more
