Many staff are now working from home, but are on hand to help online.

The university now plans to extend remote and alternative learning until the end of the summer term in June .

"A statement issued this afternoon said: "Subject to any change in government policy it is our intention that the university will remain open during this period but that those who wish to study off campus during this period will be able to. Students will want to consider any continuing and outstanding obligations they may have.

"We will be providing a remote and reduced operating model for accessing services and facilities on campus. Some staff will remain on campus to provide essential services. Although most will be working from home, staff will be available and contactable remotely."
