http://www.mmunion.co.uk/Group/Group.aspx?id=68417

A new section on Union website has been launched under Cheshire page by Matt Short (Student Activities Officer). It gives information on how you can stay healthy while you are studying at university. It discusses various issues from body and mind to alchohol and drugs and provides detail information about how different types of drugs can affect you.

Contact details of local dentists and doctors are also available but its only limited to surgeries based in Crewe and Alsager campus however this will soon be expanded to Manchester as well.

If you need help or have any questions in any of these areas we have Advice Service or Student Services both in Manchester and Cheshire who are always looking out for your best interests

ALWAYS SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE BEFORE TAKING ANY ACTIONS

National Student Survery

National Student Survey 2008 – Are you satisfied?

Are you a final year undergraduate?
Do you want your views on your experience as a student to count?

National student survey is conducted every year by Ipsos MORI, an independent market research giving third year students an opportunity to feedback on the quality of their learning experience from assessment and feedback to learning resources. This is one of the ways of expressing your views and opinion about your experience at university. This will help university to compare themselves with other universities, improve their courses and also help prospective students to choose where and what to study.

The survey is straightforward – consisting of just 24 tick-box questions, with an opportunity to add further comments at the end if you wish - and should take no more than five minutes to complete.

Please visit http://www.thestudentsurvey.com/survey.asp to fill this survey.

Thanks
