Advice on avoiding financial scams
Some ÌÇÐÄTV students have fallen victim to financial scams, so we wanted to share some advice to help you avoid this situation.
The Learner to Professional Project seeks to enhance the student experience by exploring the wider professional context in which ÌÇÐÄTV degrees operate to understand how to recognise better the relationship between undergraduate studies and professional practice.
The principal aim of this project is to develop a clear view of the student and recent graduate perspective on both the discipline and the discipline-specific student experience. By combining this with the perspectives of employers and staff a multi-faceted understanding can be generated of the professional values and behaviours associated with the discipline.

RAWKUS Food Collection
RAWKUS is a project that was created 4 years ago to save food surplus from kitchens across campus when students leave halls at the end of term/year.

We are asking all students, staff and friends who are available on the 30th June and 1st July to come and support this fantastic initiative and save good food from being wasted.
