coronavirus recovery: guidance for swansea university

this webpage is our key platform for issuing up-to-date information about changes due to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the university and our plans for recovery.

there are a range of Q&As below, broken down by category including the latest information for parents, carers and teachers. those specifically for our staff and current students are held on their respective intranet sites, so are not in the public domain.

campus facilities and access

staff who can work remotely remain doing so while a phased return to working on our campuses is underway. moving back to campus is a very complex undertaking and will take place in a carefully managed way. students and staff will be given more detailed information by their directorate, college or school.

unauthorised access to any building sited on our campuses, or any other swansea university property or facility, including all research labs, is not permitted. access must continue to be appropriately authorised. see the Building Access information in the Staff & staff Managers and postgraduate Students Q&As for the process and authorisation form.

learning and teaching

we are shaping our delivery to ensure that all students - whether in swansea, elsewhere in the uk or across the world and joining us a little later in the academic year when circumstances allow - will be fully part of our community.

all programmes of study will be delivered in a dual way combining both online and face to face teaching as appropriate.
face to face teaching will be delivered in a blended format with no large lectures to begin with.
we will deliver online enrolment, induction and a welcome week in september and january.
university accommodation will be available as normal with appropriate social distancing measures in place.
we will assist and support international students, should the uk have quarantine controls in place at the time of their arrival.

we will provide staff, current and prospective students with regular updates.
