Update (Friday, 12.30pm): A decision has been made to close all campus buildings from 1pm on Friday 9 January. We recognise that most staff are now working from home to teach students online, provide exam support, tutorial sessions, or other advice and guidance. We want to ensure that those staff and students who have been on-site today are now able to get home safely.

Update (Friday, 8am): Given the ongoing disruption to train, bus services, and the roads caused by the snowfall - all teaching, examinations, and classes on Friday 9 January are cancelled. This is in the interests of ensuring staff and student safety. Although there will be no teaching taking place, security will keep campus buildings open until early afternoon, should any staff or students need to access the buildings for private work or study, provided it is safe for them to travel. Catering will be extremely limited.
