目前學校正根據英國政府的規定，規劃秋季入學的授課方式。學校預計授課方式將包含校園的實體授課和線上授課，較大型的課程將採線上授課方式。

由於英國施打疫苗的計劃持續在執行中，未來也預計放寬及解除更多的限制，學校將繼續配合政府的規定，希望於9月開始，能讓學生都返回校園上課。

學校也會繼續計劃及提供較為彈性的混合性授課方式，以因應疫情的變化。未來學校會不斷更新與提供最新消息，請學生務必隨時留意。

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!
