Student News

It's Wednesday again, so time for another email full of opportunities, events and news!

Graduation ceremonies are still going strong at the North Terrace Campus, but they'll be wrapping up tomorrow - it'll be strange to no longer see our graduates on campus, all gowned up.

This week, there are volunteer and job opportunities you don't want to miss, information about the Medical Orchestra's upcoming show (definitely worth going to!), postgraduate events and opportunities, and plenty more.

So grab your tea and a blanket, and wrap yourself up in warmth while you check out everything we've got going on. ☕
