Manchester Evening News reported yesterday that both Manchester's main universities - the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University - would move teaching entirely online from today (Wednesday) after a surge in cases among students.
Around 1,500 students at two MMU halls of residence - Birley and Cambridge halls - were told to self-isolate last month.Since then, there have been hundreds of staff and student cases at the University of Manchester, including in student accommodation across Fallowfield.Most courses at both universities will be taught virtually, other than 'accredited and professional programmes, for on-campus laboratory, clinical and practice-based teaching', Manchester city council said.Get regular updates.
