Overview

The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted educational services across the UK, leading to significant changes in how universities delivered their courses. Many students experienced a shift from in-person learning to online classes, which has raised questions about whether their universities fulfilled contractual obligations. This has resulted in collective legal claims being brought against institutions for breach of contract.

As a result of these claims, over 290,000 former students have expressed interest in pursuing compensation for the reduced educational experience they received during the pandemic. Following a notable settlement involving University College London (UCL), there is growing momentum for similar claims against other universities.
