Studying virtually, you can expect:

• Experienced teachers and support staff
• One-to-one support at every stage
• Supportive staff to help you transition to the UK when the time comes

Joining us from September 2021

Our aim is for our campus to be fully open for the start of your course in September 2021 and to get you where you want to be, studying at the University of Strathclyde. Please do check back here regularly for updates on our plans for September 2021.

*We hope you will be able to travel to the UK and study with us on campus. If, however, you are unable to travel for the whole of your pathway programme you can complete your studies from home by exception and with agreement from the Head of Centre. The University will recognise virtual-only study and assessment for progression to the 2021/22 academic year due to the exceptional circumstances related to COVID-19, with the agreement from the Head of Centre and on the condition that you have met the progression requirements.

Please note that this information is subject to change. Government guidance to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is regularly changing and therefore we will continue to review and adapt the measures that we’re putting in place to safeguard our staff and students. Students should continue to check government health and travel advice regularly before making any plans to travel. We will continue to communicate with you in the event of any changes.
