Now everyone is starting to think about heading home for Christmas break, it is important to take a COVID-19 Rapid Lateral Flow test before you see your family and friends back home.

Travelling in the UK

  • Luton campus students can collect from The Print Shop between 9am-3pm.
  • Bedford campus students can collect from the Gateway between 9am-3pm.
  • Milton Keynes, London Bridge, and Birmingham students can collect from reception.

Travelling Abroad

If you’re traveling internationally, we recommend you find out the current travel restrictions for the country you wish to travel to, using the official government website.

When you return to the UK, you may need to quarantine and take a PCR test.

Finally, while you’re still in classes, please continue to wear a face covering. It is important to keep others and yourself safe.
