The free tests are currently available to students without COVID-19 symptoms from 30 November to 7 December.
The University has been selected to participate in the Government’s UK-wide COVID-19 asymptomatic testing programme and has set up testing sites at Harrow and Marylebone campuses for students who wish to get tested before travelling home over the Christmas break.
The tests are available to students without COVID-19 symptoms who are planning to travel away from the University within the UK during the Christmas break.
This includes students who are attending campus for onsite teaching and learning; students living in term-time accommodation close to our campuses and students living in the University-managed Halls of Residence.
To book a test, students should meet the three following requirements:
You should not have any COVID-19 symptoms
You have not tested positive for COVID-19 within the past ten days
You are planning to visit another household in December
The testing will take place between 30 November and 7 December and will be available every day during that period including over the weekend of 5 and 6 December. Test results come from NHS Test and Trace and should be available within a few hours of the time of each test.
