    Uni Students Returning to UK in Jan 2021 - New Guidelines

    New guidelines from the UK govt.

    For International Students:

    Our borders are open for both returning and new international students wishing to study in the UK, and our HE providers are looking forward to welcoming them to campuses in the new year.

    Students should:

    • check with their HE provider in advance to confirm when face-to-face teaching begins
    • check with their HE provider when they intend to arrive on campus so that they can be appropriately supported
    • inform their provider if they have already booked travel for dates outside of their specified cohort date
    • HE providers should try to be as flexible as possible with international students travelling to the UK from overseas, especially if they have already booked travel before this guidance was issued.



    Students will need to:

    • complete a passenger locator form on arrival in the UK
    • self-isolate in their accommodation for 14 days if arriving from a country which is not on the exemption (travel corridor) list
    • If self-isolating, students will need to:


    • only use public transport if they have no other option
    • follow safer travel guidance for passengers
    • only leave their accommodation in limited circumstances and should follow guidance on how to self-isolate they travel to the UK (England only).
