In the past decade, global higher education has undergone significant transformations in learning and teaching (L&T) practices. The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns acted as a disruptive force, prompting rapid changes in L&T methods—dubbed ‘panic-gogy.’ We examine a UK University’s response to the pandemic’s impact on L&T, focusing on institutional, staff, and student dimensions. The university strategically prioritised teaching and student experiences, implemented staff development initiatives, and addressed challenges in student engagement and placements post-pandemic. We identify aspects that led to successful long-term adoption of approaches to revitalise provision and highlight long-term challenges that still need solutions.
