Autumn 2020

Following Government and WHO advice we cannot expect to return to normal course running in the Autumn 2020 term. At the moment we are awaiting confirmation, whether our course venues will be available under safe distancing rules, but we have already identified some venues where this will be impossible.  As a result, we are moving those events online, wherever possible.
If you have already booked for the autumn courses, the lecturers will be in touch with you regarding any changes, as soon as we have better information.
