Health, hygiene and safety measures on campus
We will continue to adhere to all Scottish Government guidelines as a minimum. On campus this means:
- In line with Scottish Government advice we continue to strongly encourage the use of protective measures, including wearing face coverings on public transport and in all indoor communal spaces on campus, unless you are in a hospitality setting or if an exemption applies, to help combat the spread of the virus.
- We'll be cleaning more throughout our buildings to make sure all study, teaching and social spaces are as safe as possible. We will clean and disinfect to government-advised standards.
- We will provide additional hand sanitising stations and cleaning materials throughout campus.
- Sanitising wipes will be available for safer use of electronic equipment.
- We have increased natural ventilation by requiring windows and doors (except fire doors) to remain open and increased mechanical ventilation in line with Scottish Government guidance.
- We have risk assessed numbers permitted in teaching spaces.
- You can reserve and order food on campus with the app called ‘Food at Stirling’ or alternatively via the QR codes shown at each outlet.
COVID-19 vaccines and testing
NHS Scotland strongly recommends that everyone who is eligible should get COVID-19 vaccines as the best available form of protection against Coronavirus. Vaccines are available at our on-campus pharmacy. To book an appointment, phone the national COVID-19 vaccination helpline on 0800 030 8013 (open 8am - 8pm, seven days a week) or visit the NHS Inform website.
As of the end of April 2022, COVID-19 testing will be targeted for clinical care. Anyone working in social or healthcare should access tests from and report results to the NHS in the normal way.
How you'll be taught
Our general approach is to carry out as much in-person teaching as we can safely deliver. We plan to deliver an increase in face-to-face teaching, based on feedback and the progress made during the Autumn semester. Read more about how you'll be taught.
