Find out what we’re doing differently during the Coronavirus situation, so you can plan your university experience.
Coronavirus latest
The government has put in place restrictions to control the spread of Covid-19.
This means that students:
- in BSMS and Education and Social Work have resumed in-person teaching since January.
- on specified practical courses have resumed in-person teaching since 8 March.
- studying any other course should not return to Sussex and should continue learning online – the Government will review this decision by the end of the Spring vacation.
You should only come to Sussex if your School contacts you.
If you have Covid-19 symptoms you must self-isolate and let us know using our symptom reporting form.
