Eleven students are expected for the new intake this year. There are four from England, four from Ireland, two from Scotland and one from Mauritius. In addition, for the first few weeks, as has happened in the past, two Anglican exchange students from England will be joining us. We look forward to welcoming them all to begin their seminary formation.
As the Rector explains in his website message for the beginning of the 2020/2021 year (above), the Beda, along with many other Roman seminaries and colleges, has delayed the arrival of the new students to put in place the safety requirements in the pandemic. All students are due to return on 3/4 October and all will receive a COVID test on 5th. The academic year will begin as planned on 12th October. We look forward to welcoming the eleven new students joining us this year, bringing our total number to well over 30. .
