We have the following type of courses available

- Online/Remote Distance Learning Courses
- VLE
- Blended Courses
In these very challenging times, we must continue to adapt and put in place enhanced measures to reduce COVID-19 transmission rates across the world, while supporting students to continue to progress with their courses, therefore our education providers remain flexible and are ready to teach students either online or in-person this academic year.
Our highest priority is the health, safety and well-being of everyone.
All students motivated, ready and willing to travel must know how COVID-19 may impact their journeys.
Before making travel plans, students intending to come to the destination to study should:
- check additional entry requirements and restrictions that have been introduced due to coronavirus (COVID-19) before travelling to the destination
- check with their education provider in advance to confirm when face-to-face teaching begins
- check with their education provider when they intend to arrive on campus so that they can be appropriately supported
- inform their education provider if they have already booked travel for dates outside of their specified cohort date
