Things to know this week

UoY community update

NSS results are in

Student satisfaction with teaching, learning, opportunities and resources, assessment and academic support has increased this year. In fact we’re up in 24 out of the 27 questions asked. There’s still more to do and we’re grateful to all undergraduate finalists who took the time to provide feedback that we can build on.

Supporting fellow students during graduation (19-25 July)

We can’t wait to welcome graduates, families, friends and our 2025 honorary graduates to campus in a week’s time. If you are on Campus West, we hope you get to soak up a bit of the atmosphere of our favourite time of year. Please be conscious of our special ceremonies taking place when moving around campus though and keep noise to a minimum. We ask you not to play music through speakers or sound systems that could disrupt ceremonies. The use of voice amplifying devices such as microphones, loudhailers or megaphones is not permitted on Campus West during graduation week.

Apple Maps working on campus

Apple Maps will be carrying out a survey in the area of the University from 14 - 23 July. The team will be walking through campus to collect updated imagery and data for Apple Maps users. Further information is available
