COVID-19 vaccinations 👇

We strongly encourage everyone in our University community, students and colleagues, to get both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can. This is in line with advice from the NHS and WHO.

If you're able, we'd advise that you get at least one dose of vaccine before Welcome. We will be offering first or second doses of the Pfizer vaccine on campus on selected days in September and October.

All students, including international students, can access both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine free of charge through the NHS. There are several local vaccination sites close to campus.
