As part of our commitment to support our EU/EEA and Swiss staff through Brexit, the University is holding an information event in response to recent queries arising from the EU Settlement Scheme pilot and the settlement implications of Brexit in general.

The event will include a one hour presentation from an immigration lawyer followed by?a Q&A session for staff lasting up to two hours if necessary.?Later in the day, a drop-in session will be hosted by Human Resources to allow a limited number of staff to pose more individual/complex queries on a 1:1 basis with the immigration lawyer.
