Durham提供更新資訊，目前學生無須接種COVID-19疫苗也可以入境英國。如果尚未接種疫苗，學生在註冊GP後可以於英國免費接種COVID-19疫苗。
Durham將負責從Red list抵達英國的學生防疫旅館費用，另外從 Amber List上抵達英國的學生可以在學校宿舍自主隔離。
學校建議學生每周進行兩次快篩，但從Red list and Amber List抵達英國的學生在快篩前須完成自我隔離及篩檢步驟(包含兩次PCR篩檢。)
學生若無法於十月抵達學校，學校亦提供線上授課。
We’re looking forward to welcoming new students to our COVID-secure campus in the autumn. The health, safety, and wellbeing of our students, staff, and local community are our priority. We want to share with you plans for how we'll support your safe arrival in Durham.
Read the UK Government step-by-step guide to entering the UK before you book your travel.
Arrival guidance
Currently, you don't need to have had a COVID-19 vaccination to travel to the UK. If you haven't had a vaccination when you arrive in Durham, you'll be able to get one in the UK free of charge once you're registered with a doctor at a medical centre. We'll help you to arrange this via our local health service providers.
UK Government guidance states that what you must do when you arrive in England from overseas depends on whether you have been in a red, amber, or green list country in the 10 days before you arrive.
We'll pay the costs of a quarantine hotel for any new students arriving in Durham from or through a red list country this autumn. If you arrive from an amber list country, you'll be able to quarantine in university accommodation, and we'll offer support to enable you to do so. We'll share further details with you about quarantine arrangements over the coming months.
Once you're in Durham
Our students are strongly advised to take two Lateral Flow Tests (LFTs) per week throughout term at our central testing sites. LFTs are free and available seven days a week.
However, if you arrive from a red or amber list country, you must complete your 10-day quarantine period, which will involve taking two PCR Tests before taking an LFT.
If you can't travel to Durham
While we’re looking forward to welcoming you to Durham and offering in-person teaching on campus, we recognise that a small number of students will have health risks or may not be able to travel.
If you can’t join us in October, you’ll be able to register for online study so that you can still benefit from the world-class teaching and resources provided at Durham.
With just some exceptions, teaching on our programmes will be available online and you'll have access to support to help you get the most out of your learning. We’ll use the latest technology to support your education including online platforms where you can learn with your peers.
Your experience
Every student is important to us, and we’ll do what we can to support you – whatever your circumstances.
Repeatedly, including during the pandemic when restrictions have been in place, our students and graduates say how welcomed and well supported they felt by Durham. It’s one of the reasons the friendships and connections made in Durham remain for years and decades afterwards.
Staying up to date
We're working hard to ensure we continue to be compliant with COVID-secure guidance to provide you with the best possible academic and wider student experience.
We'll continue to email you with information about the academic year 2021/22 when changes occur. As well as email updates, we'll publish our most up-to-date information and frequently asked questions on our Applicants and Future Students webpage.
We look forward to you joining us in the autumn.
