This blended approach will provide the flexibility to adjust our approach as the academic year progresses and according to the evolving context of the global pandemic.

Warwick is planning to start teaching as initially intended, with classes expected to start in the week of October 5 2020. This will be done through a blend of face-to-face and online learning, following an induction period for new students.
