GM Higher Coronavirus Update

GM Higher Coronavirus Update

The current coronavirus pandemic has resulted in unprecedented changes to the education sector. GM Higher’s main purpose is to support learners, teachers, schools, and colleges in finding out more information about higher education, and to help young people with their decision-making.

The way in which we usually do this will have to adapt due to the current circumstances and will continue to change as the situation develops. We will provide more information about our new approach in due course; as we appreciate, there are more urgent priorities at this time.

We welcome ideas and suggestions from our school/college colleagues about the best way to support them at this time. We can be contacted via gmhigher@mmu.ac.uk
