Colleges have committed to “maximising” time on campus this year for students, due to the successes of the vaccine rollout and the “overwhelming desire” to get students back on campus.

With higher education now nominated by Government as an essential service, higher education institutions are planning for a return to campus this September with “maximum” on-site presence.
