We’ve put together a pack for students starting with us this September, which contains guidance surrounding COVID-19
All New Starters have been sent an Offer Update Letter (dated 8 June 2020) which provides full details in line with our commitment to keep you informed of whether there will be a change to our normal planned delivery.
A live Q&A session was held on 10 June via zoom. A link to this session will be emailed to all New Starters as soon as possible.
All New Starters, including those who had already accepted prior to the Offer Update Letter (dated 8 June 2020) have been asked to accept or re-accept by 21st June 2020.
This will take place on Wednesday 24 June at midday. The zoom meeting link and the full agenda of the Virtual House Hunting Event will be emailed to you on Tuesday 23 June (the day before the event).
The event includes a UNIPOL presentation about selecting a property and signing contracts and a Q&A with UNIPOL, landlords and 2 current students. Virtual tours and photographs of properties will then be made available.
Most NSCD students share accommodation with students on other NSCD courses or other year groups. For more information see here
UNIPOL have confirmed that property advertisements will state whether broadband is included in the rent (all bills included) and are asking landlords to update their advertisements with details of minimum broadband width. Some properties require occupants to arrange a broadband contract themselves (bills not included).
Current regulations may change prior to your travel so you are advised to consult information provided in your current country of residence and through this link: https://www.gov.uk/uk-border-control.
We are expecting further announcements in June and will update this page when we have further news.
All International students have been sent full details about the process of applying for a UKVI Tier 4 Visa. Please contact admissions@nscd.sc.uk if you have further questions. We are continuously monitoring the available guidance, which you can read below:
