Stoke BishopWellbeing Map

We’ve made some changes to our campus - adapting our libraries, study spaces, sports centre and social hubs in line with social distancing guidelines, so you can still enjoy the experiences of campus life.

Re-usable face coverings will be issued to all staff and students to use whilst on campus. They will be worn as a sign of respect, kindness and sensitivity to each other and those at higher risk.

Sanitising stations will be at all building entrances and all buildings will be certified COVID-19 Secure to government guidelines for the return to campus.

Students will have access to testing where appropriate, and will be supported to isolate safely if living in university accommodation.

We’ve provided more space for walking and cycling in and around campus to ensure all day-to-day student travel for study, work and leisure is as safe and hassle-free as possible.

All actions taken are with your safety in mind. Plans are in place to ensure that we can support you whatever the circumstances. LINK bristol.ac.uk/students/your-studies/study-2020/campus-safety/
