Regardless of whether you are an international, EU or home student, you will be able to apply for Remote Study provided you are based outside of the UK and your request relates to:

• Travel restrictions, including a lack of transport links and the health risk posed to anyone with a condition listed by the NHS as a shielding condition;
• Legal restrictions barring entry to the UK or departure from your country of residence (excluding standard quarantine requirements on departure or arrival); or
• Financial restrictions, including significant, unexpected and temporary personal financial barriers

To find out more about Remote Study, including how to apply, please visit the Student Services webpages.

Remember to check any accommodation contracts you may have committed to before applying for Remote Study, as you may not be able to cancel these.

Late arrival

If you are experiencing short term financial, visa or travel restrictions that will delay your arrival onto campus at the beginning of the 2021/22 academic year you may not need to apply for Remote Study.

Most students will be able to arrive on campus within the first four weeks of the semester and will not need to present evidence to support their delay. However, you must have completed university registration by Monday 11 October 2021 and have arrived on campus and completed quarantine by Sunday 17 October 2021, ready to commence in-person teaching on Monday 18 October.

If you are on a programme of study with a non-standard start date (ie anything other than Monday 20 September), please check the above with your school or department as different rules may apply.
