Most of it will be shifted online.

The thing with Bristol University is that is a multi site one. There isnt a campus at all, so everyday, 000,s of students float around the city from site to site.
Pretty sure Edinburgh is similar. Probably loads of others that have just evolved over decades, so were never built like a modern one would be.

I;m talking about from September. There will be a mix of online and - where appropriate - face-to-face teaching. That is the plan as fas as I'm aware.

Kinda waters down the university "experience" a bit. But needs must I guess.
But to me, it seems the university issue has not been part of the dialogue at all. Education has all been about schools and child care, but maybe thats cos as @Tea_drinker has alluded to, been getting some stuff done quietly.

Can’t see the point in my lad travelling back up to go to Liverpool and then to do his learning online if I’m honest.
Yes that would be different. Similar thoughts of why we went to blocks.
Students would normally take 5-6 classes/semester and would running all over campus from one class to the next everyday - lots of chances for exposure with almost 30K students
Now they will have just 2-3 classes for 8 weeks twice in the semester. Decreases how many people you are around any given day/week.
Also doing the other stuff as well...masks, social distancing in class, rules on elevator occupancy, etc.

Please check with me for Blammo criteria

A lot of HE was going that way (remote learning) even before Covid19. This has just accelerated it. It'll be the same in other areas of life (GP 'attendance' etc).
This will be a massive shift in life.

Honestly I think the "experience" is why in the US some politicians and people want them opened with a gung ho attitude.
Its not even about the education for many.
Two of my closet friends work in one of the big universities and have been planning this coming new year primarily online. They say they plan to open with a very much revised schedule also for actual attending.
Some of my wife's family and my neighbors seem to be more disappointed that their kids who are due to start or go back to college will miss the fun social element.
That and they are not rid of them yet haha!
I am due to start teaching some IT related stuff too in a college and as of yet they have no plan for how I will be doing it. But for me most of what I will be teaching can be done online.
Would be very encouraging if further studies support these results
