Keeping our community well
We are committed to ensuring our community keep safe and well whilst enjoying a rich and engaging University life. In order to ensure the wellness of our community we ask that you follow the advice in our UAL Health and Wellbeing Pledge. This applies to Covid-19 as well as other illnesses.
Getting vaccinated
Vaccinations for Covid are now available in the UK for adults and children aged 5 years or older. UAL encourages all our staff and students to be vaccinated. Vaccinations are being offered free of charge at local sites run by GPs, community pharmacies, larger vaccination centres, walk-in sites and in some hospitals.
Booster vaccinations are also available for everyone over the age of 16.
All students, regardless of their nationality or immigration status, are eligible to be vaccinated.
Find out more about the vaccines to get as a student.
Face coverings
Face coverings will no longer be required to be worn on site at UAL. We will continue to make face coverings available for staff and students at reception desks and in libraries.
Please respect members of our community who choose to wear a face covering.
Preparing our spaces
Signage on good hygiene practice remain in place across UAL. We will maintain sanitising stations throughout our sites. Please make use of these to keep yourself and others safe.
Cleaning remains a primary defence against the spread of Covid and other viruses.
Across UAL we will clean and disinfect all touch points daily to provide 24-hour protection against the spread of viruses.
