and live on Freeview channel 276
Following internal meetings and the change in advice from Government yesterday, the university has decided that all face-to-face teaching will cease from the end of today (Tuesday, March 17). All teaching from Wednesday until Friday this week has been cancelled.
It comes after the government advised on Monday afternoon that the public avoid 'non essential' contact with others. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said people should avoid pubs, clubs, theatres and social venues.

Hide AdA spokesperson for Chi Uni said: "From Monday, March 23, we will switch to the alternative method of teaching via online delivery and support.
"We appreciate there will be many questions, and details from academic departments will be sent out this week.
"Our campuses remain operational and open so that we can support our students and provide essential services to those who call our university home and are unable to leave. Students are welcome to remain in halls of residence.
"We are still committed to delivering an excellent learning experience, and would ask all students to continue to access their online resources on a regular basis. Please keep checking your University email for updates.
