2. Looking after your personal safety
|
We’ve teamed up with the Suzy Lamplugh Trust to create some essential training for students to help you think about personal safety. Get the know-how to assess, manage and reduce risks you may face at study or at work, including topics such as identifying harassment, stalking awareness, and ways to deal with conflict. Complete the personal safety awareness video course for postgraduates.

In a large community such as ours, we all need to do what we can to minimise the spread of infectious illnesses. Remember your student healthcare 1,2,3:
|
If you do feel unwell, let someone know but avoid close contact with people to prevent spreading the infection. Seek medical help if you’re worried. See our student healthcare web page for more information and check your department handbook for what to do if you’re ill and can’t attend teaching sessions.

4. Become a Student Ambassador

Offering flexible shifts, paid training and varied work, it’s also a great opportunity to learn new skills. Applications may close early according to demand so don’t delay!
