Important Update

Take regular tests

Testing centre in Oastler

The University is operating a testing centre for staff and students who currently have no symptoms of Covid-19. You can book a test and learn more on the Test Centre webpage.

Collect home testing kits from Ipoint in Student Central

Free packs of COVID-19 rapid lateral flow tests are available for staff and students to collect from the University for home testing. 

Staff and students without symptoms of coronavirus can collect these testing kits from iPoint and pop-up distribution points around campus and take regular tests at home.

From Monday 6 September iPoint will be open from 8.00am until 6.00pm.

About one in three people with COVID-19 do not have symptoms but can still infect others.  By helping to identify more cases, we can help to keep our family, friends and University community safe.

How do I get vaccinated?

If you live in Kirklees, you can get your Covid-19 vaccination as they are now available to everyone over 18. If you have not been vaccinated yet please do arrange to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Please note all vaccinations are free of charge.

If you are registered with a GP or the University Health Centre you can arrange your vaccination with them or alternatively you can visit one of the centres available across Kirklees offering vaccinations. Details of these centres are regularly circulated to all students via email and you can also find regular updates here: COVID-19 vaccination programme | Kirklees Council (please choose the venue that is closest to you, to avoid travelling across the town).

NHS England has published a Frequently Asked Questions document for students on Covid-19 vaccinations which you may also find helpful.
Taking the vaccine is the best way we can save lives, keep pressure off the NHS and get our lives back to normality. It is safe, quick and significantly protects you from Covid-19. Every vaccination matters, so the more people that take it, the safer we all are and the sooner we can get back to normality.
