Coronavirus (Covid-19)
We continue to follow Scottish Government guidance and students will be expected to follow local guidance.
Students and staff are asked to monitor their email accounts. Keep in touch with course leaders who will let you know about any updates to course delivery methods, placements and examination arrangements.
Please don't forget that Student Services are here to help and details of contacts can be found on our Student support page, or contact the red button team.
Our priority is to provide a safe learning, research and working environment for all our students and staff, while also protecting our local communities. We must play our part in limiting the spread of COVID-19 in our communities and request you follow the latest Scottish Government guidance closely. The situation will be kept under continual review.
