Updated advice regarding international student arrival
The UK Government has announced new testing, self-isolation and quarantine rules in effect from 15 February. Read more about the new rules and full guidance on the government website.
From 15 February onwards, everyone allowed to enter England from outside the Common Travel Area (Ireland, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man) must:
- self-isolate for 10 days
- take a coronavirus (COVID-19) test on day 2 and day 8 of quarantining
- follow the national lockdown rules
You should follow separate guidance if you've been in a country where travel to the UK is banned.
What to do before you travel
- take a coronavirus (COVID-19) test and get a negative result during the 3 days before you travel
- book and pay for a travel test package, which will include COVID-19 tests to be taken on or before day 2 and on or after day 8 of your quarantine
- complete a passenger locator form with details of where you will home quarantine when you arrive and the travel test package booking reference number
Our advice for international students travelling from overseas for the Spring term is to consider whether you, in fact, need to travel to the UK at this time, particularly if your course does not require you to be on campus. You should consider delaying your travel plans if these can be rearranged.
We will be updating the information on the Coronavirus webpages with answers to the most frequently asked questions. We will email all applicants if the guidance changes.
This is a challenging time for all of us, but please be assured we will continue to do everything we can to maintain a safe study environment and to provide you with a learning experience that will enable you to succeed on your course, and ultimately in your career.
Please contact our international team on international@leedsbeckett.ac.uk if you have any questions about how this affects you. We look forward to welcoming you to Leeds Beckett University.
