Research opportunities A-Z

The latest Scottish Government guidance confirms that most students should not plan to travel to term-time accommodation at this point. Where there is a time-sensitive element to your course, a small number of students will be able to travel.

There are some exceptions to this advice, with the following groups of students allowed to be on campus:

• those who have remained over the winter break;
• those whose attendance is critical and whose education cannot be delivered remotely or postponed, essential placements, or for reasons of student wellbeing

Please continue to observe the latest Scottish Government guidance and local restrictions.

If you are travelling to a term-time address from within the UK, you should book a test for the date of your arrival.

Travel advice for international students

Semester began on 11 January and the majority of learning and teaching is being delivered online. The latest Scottish Government guidance confirms that most students should not plan to travel to term-time accommodation at this point. 

Unless you need to be at the University for in-person teaching, please delay your travel for now. We will update all students when the Scottish Government advise it is safe for students to travel.

From Monday 18 January, the small number of students who do travel to Scotland from abroad must:

• have proof of a negative PCR test (or similar test with at least 99% specificity and 97% sensitivity for detecting COVID-19) taken a maximum of 72 hours before travel. See the Scottish Government’s guide: Pre-departure coronavirus testing. 
• self-isolate for 10 days on arrival. Our International Student Support Team will provide assistance following arrival in Glasgow.
• not book a Lateral Flow test at the University's testing centre.

Students who do fly into Glasgow are invited to complete the University’s Travel Plans form, which gives the option of an airport transfer.

Whether you join us in Glasgow or study from home, please know that we are with you every step of the way, and will do all that we can to ensure that your student journey at the University of Glasgow is both a successful and enjoyable one.
