Due to the coronavirus pandemic that is ravaging the world, Cambridge University has announced its decision to move all “face-to-face lectures” online for the full 2020-2021 academic year.
According to The Guardian international edition, Cambridge has become the first higher institution to stop lectures face-to-face and move online for the duration.
A statement from the British university noted that lectures would continue online until summer 2021, adding the possibility for smaller teaching groups to take place in person if it sticks to social-distancing requirements.
Back in March, the university moved all teaching online and exams are being carried out virtually as well.
