The new term is due to resume at Queen's campuses in Belfast on Monday, 10 January 2022.The university said that exams which had been scheduled for the week before that - from Tuesday, 4 January - "will proceed as planned, with enhanced social distancing in place".
Students will be contacted by their schools and departments about arrangements for exams due to take place from 10 January.Some classes, which have to take place face-to-face, will go ahead on campus, including some laboratory sessions or classes in clinical skills as part of medical courses, for example.
"For a minority of students, therefore, it is possible that some classes may need to take place in person and on campus during this period," the email said.
