Isolation 

If you are travelling to the UK from abroad and have not received two vaccinations with a UK approved Coronavirus vaccination, you will need to isolate for a 10-day period. 

This can be done in your university accommodation. Accommodation Services offer isolation packs, to help support you during this time.

If you have had two UK government-approved vaccinations, then we ask that you take a Lateral Flow Test upon arriving at your accommodation. If this test comes back positive, please book a PCR and isolate for 10 days.
