目前学校正根据英国政府的规定，规划秋季入学的授课方式。学校预计授课方式将包含校园的实体授课和线上授课，较大型的课程将采线上授课方式。

由於英国施打疫苗的计划持续在执行中，未来也预计放宽及解除更多的限制，学校将继续配合政府的规定，希望於9月开始，能让学生都返回校园上课。

学校也会继续计划及提供较为弹性的混合性授课方式，以因应疫情的变化。未来学校会不断更新与提供最新消息，请学生务必随时留意。

University of Aberdeen planning for the start of the 2021/22 academic year

We will be open and ready to welcome students to campus in September for the new session.  In line with all other Universities we are currently planning our on-campus teaching on the basis of Government rules. To adhere to these rules, we anticipate that our delivery will involve a mix of in-person teaching on campus and online learning, with on-campus delivery for practical work and smaller group sessions but online delivery for larger groups.

We are also optimistic that the lifting of restrictions will enable the resumption of wider activities to support your student experience, given the improving public health situation and the successful roll out of the vaccination programme across the UK.  There is already beginning to be an easing of restrictions across Scotland, and with travel throughout the UK now allowed. 

For our students based outside the UK, it is hoped that international travel will become possible soon, hopefully sometime after mid-May, and we continue to work with the Scottish Government to develop plans to support quarantine arrangement for our students.  And we therefore hope to be able to welcome all of our students to Aberdeen for the new session starting in September.

We will of course continue to offer flexibility in response to changing circumstances and in order to meet our students’ needs, including through online provision where that is necessary. We have successfully delivered students’ learning throughout the pandemic using online and blended learning approaches to provide that flexibility when it has been needed.

We are working extremely hard to get ready for your arrival and to support your learning experience with us and will continue to keep you updated over the coming months. We will continue to keep you informed as our planning for September progresses, and as national public health guidance and planning is updated, so please keep an eye out for our updates!
