COVID-19 in Brunei Darussalam is an evolving situation with extraordinary challenges for our staff and students since 2020. Although the campus remains open and services have resumed with minimal restrictions since August 2022, the University continues to take precautionary measures to minimise the potential pathways for community spread of the Coronavirus, guided by national instructions and restrictions..
The University is also continuously reviewing the progress and development of online learning to look into the best ways to support the delivery and achieving our learning objectives.
Within three days of the first positive COVID-19 case in Brunei Darussalam, we had set all lectures and tutorials to be conducted online, thus minimising face-to-face and big group interactions. This was further extended to the examinations at the end of the Semester.
