Our commitment to our students
We are really looking forward to welcoming new and returning students to the University of Wolverhampton for the new academic year.
We are currently in Phase 3 along our Road to Reopening @WLV (details below), which means we are welcoming students back to campus in a managed way.
The safety of students and staff is our top priority, and you will see social distancing measures in place on campus as well as hand sanitiser units throughout our buildings. As we continue along our road to reopening, we will continue to review these in line with national guidance. Alongside these precautions, we have developed an innovative mixture of face-to-face and digital learning to ensure you can start your studies with us and you are not delayed in any way.
Support is here for you and our teams are ready to answer any queries you may have - we are here to help.

Vice-Chancellor
