Cambridge lectures to be online in 2020-2021

Cambridge University will hold online lectures until summer 2021.

Cambridge has become the first university to hold virtual lectures for the full 2020-21 academic session. There will be no face-to-face lectures over the course of the next academic year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Small teaching groups may be hosted in person if social distancing requirements are adhered to, the university added.

The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation. For reliable advice on COVID-19 including symptoms, prevention and available treatment, please refer to the World Health Organisation or your national healthcare authority.
