    Celebrating Equality and Diversity

    Today we have an honest interview with Andy Grace from the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion team at the University. We discuss just some of the ways the university has become more inclusive for all students, and the support that is available to them.  We all want the university to be a safe, open and inclusive place where we can build meaningful  relationships, create long lasting memories as well as having the ability to thrive academically.  To do this we must recognise and celebrate all of our differences and realise that it is these differences that make us unique.

    Sober Student Life

    University is a great place to try new things and to have fun, but the assumption that being a student means drinking just isn't true. In fact, even less students are drinking these days. Students work incredibly hard, often having part time jobs, doing volunteering, some of us have kids or caring responsibilities, and all of us have worked to get to where we are now. Today we are celebrating all those students who don't drink, drink less or those who are considering it and showing you all the ways in which you can still fit in and have some of the best years of your life. Being sober doesn’t mean anti-social.
