The University will close for the Christmas break at midday on 24 December 2025 and reopen on 5 January 2026. 

If you are a student and in need of wellbeing support during university closure, please call 0800 031 8227 to speak with a trained professional - please do not delay accessing support if you need this right now.  This is available 24/7 for UEL students, Including Weekends and Bank Holidays.  

For urgent mental health assistance, you can also contact the NHS by calling 111 and selecting the mental health option. 

For all other enquiries or requests, we will make every effort to get back to you when we return. However, please avoid sending repeated enquiries/requests, as this will delay our ability to respond to you. 

We wish you a joyous holiday season and a happy New Year!
