Cardiff將負責從Red list和Amber List抵達英國的學生隔離或是篩檢相關費用。

從Red list抵達英國的學生如果需要在特定防疫旅館自我隔離10天，學校會支付該旅館費用。

從Amber List抵達英國的學生，學校會支付相關篩檢費用並提供隔離時所需的資源。

學校也會支付從Green list抵達英國的學生篩檢相關費用。

該適用於2021即將入學的以及返回校園的國際學生。

未來幾週，學校將會提供關於學校如何支付相關費用的更多資訊。

英國政府也已經確認，今年秋天抵達Cardiff的所有國際學生都可以接種疫苗，有關如何接種疫苗的更多資訊，將陸續公告。

無法抵達校園開始課程的學生可以在學期的前四個星期線上上課，但學校鼓勵學生可以盡快抵達校園進行上課。關於線上上課的相關政策，如果有任何變化，學校會另外通知，但可能有少數課程無法進行遠距教學，完整的細節將陸續公告。

學校也會在校園內繼續提供教職員和學生免費篩檢的服務。

We hope that you are looking forward to starting your studies with us in September. Although COVID-19 continues to impact daily life around the world, we want to reassure you that we are doing all we can to support your safe arrival in Cardiff, and to ensure that you have a great student experience with us.

Support for students arriving from red, amber and green list countries

We are pleased to confirm that Cardiff University will help cover the costs of students travelling from red and amber list countries where quarantining and/or coronavirus testing is required on arrival in the UK.

For students arriving from a red list country, if a 10-day hotel quarantine period is required, the University will reimburse you the cost of the hotel stay – currently £1,750.

If you are arriving from an amber list country, we will reimburse you for costs incurred to take COVID-19 travel tests (up to the value of £210) which must be taken on day 2 and day 8 of your arrival in the UK. We are working with the Welsh Government to assess quarantine arrangements for amber list students but we will provide you with support for the duration of your quarantine.

We will also cover the costs of COVID-19 tests required for students arriving from green list countries.

This support is available to new and returning international students who will be travelling to Cardiff for the start of the 2021 academic year.

More information about how costs will be reimbursed and any other terms and conditions will be released in the coming weeks.

Successful vaccine rollout

The UK’s highly successful vaccination programme continues to roll out to all age groups with the majority of all adults having now received two doses of a vaccine. Wales leads the way with the highest population of vaccinated people of any country in the world.

Our government has confirmed that all international students arriving in Cardiff this autumn will have access to vaccinations, in line with the rest of the UK population. We are working closely with Public Health Wales to ensure the needs of our students are considered as part of the vaccination rollout - more details of how you will be able to access a vaccine will be communicated later in the summer. 

Delayed arrival onto campus

We are aware that some students may experience delays in travelling to Cardiff for the start of the 2021/22 academic year due to coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions and we will provide as much support as we can to those who face delays.

Students who are unable to arrive in Cardiff for the start of their course will be permitted to study online for the first four weeks of term before joining us on campus. If you study online for this period, you will miss some in-person teaching and not all study materials will be available online. We therefore encourage you to ensure you join us in Cardiff as soon as you are able to.

We are keeping our remote study policy under constant review and we will write to you if there are any changes. There may be a small number of courses where remote study will not be possible - full details will be published later in the summer.

Support travelling from London to Cardiff

A coach collection service from Heathrow to Cardiff will be operational for the 2021 intake for new international students. We are currently reviewing the provision of this service with more details being made available later in the summer. 

In-house screening service

We continue to offer a free coronavirus (COVID-19) screening service to all students and staff on campus. You can use the service to get tested if you don't have any COVID-19 symptoms but would like reassurance.

As always, we are here to help you so please get in touch if you have any questions.
