COVID-19

UCL

AS OF 1 JUNE 2020
UCL has updated their website! (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2020/jun/preparing-new-academic-year)

Main takeaway points:

  • UCL's campus will be open on 28 September 2020 for the start of term, but necessarily the 2020 – 21 academic year is going to look and feel different from your previous years. We promise that we will not compromise our academic standards, you will graduate with an excellent degree that is valued around the world and we’re working hard to ensure you have a great experience.
  • Your safety is paramount. UCL looks forward to welcoming you back to London if you are able to travel here. We are continuing to follow UK Government guidance, as well as the expertise of our researchers, to make sure UCL is as safe as possible (multiple measures will be taken).
  • With social distancing measures in place, UCL will support us through
    • High-quality online lectures
    • Interactive sessions, online or in person
    • Sessions on campus such as small-group seminars, lab practicals and studio work where social-distancing permits. If you aren’t able to join UCL in London immediately, they will provide alternative content so you can achieve the same learning wherever you are in the world.
    • A rich range of course materials in our libraries and online
    • UCL libraries will be open, including the Student Centre and learning spaces

- Even if your arrival on UCL campus is delayed by travel restrictions, you can continue to participate fully in the academic community and continue your education with UCL, connecting with your tutors and fellow students both inside and outside of the classroom.

AS OF 12 MAY 2020
UCL has updated and advised us on the current COVID-19 situation:

"We ask that offer holders regularly check their emails as we will send updates this way. They will have been informed about the weekly webinars for Singaporean offer holders (every Monday at 7pm) and we sent them an e-learning module about preparing for UCL study. We are also regularly updating our FAQs."

The British Council in Singapore would like to hear from both incoming and returning students about their study plans in September, so that they can collate opinions and concerns.  Take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5ZTM6M6.
Please circulate this survey if possible. 

​Stay safe and healthy!

Dear all,

We understand that there are several concerns about the COVID-19 situation and UCL. We have recently contacted UCL Admissions to enquire about future plans. This is what they had to say:

"At the moment, UCL is planning on opening campus by the end of September as usual. There is a team in place working on various contingency plans in case this isn’t possible but we hope it won’t be necessary. Unfortunately I don’t have any further information at this stage. As I’m sure you can appreciate, it is still a developing situation here and we have to be led by the UK government on this."

We will be constantly updating this page, and the UCLSS Facebook groups, with updates on the situation. For now please do not worry too much, and don't hesitate to reach out to UCLSS or any of the committee members via Facebook, Instagram, or E-mail!

We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
