Coronavirus (COVID-19) FAQs

The safety of our students, staff and visitors is of paramount importance. We are advised by Scottish Government guidance to go beyond restriction in place in the wider community due to the demographic of our students who are still not all vaccinated, so we are adopting a one metre social distance on campus as well as continuing with other health and wellbeing measures.

We are following all NHS and Scottish Government advice to ensure our staff, students and visitors are kept safe. This includes one metre distancing and other health and wellbeing measures.
