We are returning to predominantly in-person teaching in 2022-23. In-person teachingOur teaching model for next year will depend on the Covid-19 restrictions in place at the time, but we are planning on the basis that all students will be with us in Edinburgh. At present, on the basis of the University’s guidance, we are expecting to be able to deliver lectures (and tutorials and labs) in-person in academic year 2022-23. Physical lectures will be recorded and made available through Learn (live-streaming may also be possible, subject to the IT capabilities of the lecture theatre, at the course organiser’s discretion). We intend to use in-person examinations for all undergraduate courses for the December and the April-May examination diet.
