Update from Swansea University regarding the academic year 2020-21

Thank you again for your patience as we have had to adapt to a new delivery during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Please be reassured University staff are working together planning future activity and Swansea University will be ready to teach at the start of the new academic year in September as per the published term dates (there will be variations on the start date for students enrolled on programmes leading to professional registration).

Our priority is to ensure that the education and experience of our students remains of the highest quality whilst guarding the health and safety of our students and staff. So far as it is possible, all courses will be delivered in a dual way combining both online and face to face teaching as appropriate. We are continuing to follow changing Government guidance and will provide more details in due course to keep you up to date.

We look forward to welcoming you back to campus and the Swansea University community when is it safe to do so.

Suspension of Face-to-Face Teaching

The University is open however, due to the ongoing uncertainty with regards to Covid-19, we decided to suspend all face to face teaching delivered via lectures and seminars to students from Monday 16 March and moved to Online teaching.

In practice some teaching was delivered online earlier than this date, and academics can made individual arrangements with their students as appropriate. Supervision for postgraduate research students is taking place remotely.

Students will receive further information directly from their college or school about what this means for their programme of study.

The situation for medical and nursing students is different and for all courses leading to a professional registration in the Medical School or the College of Human and Health Sciences, students have been advised to wait for further information from their School or College.
