The University Notices, along with a number of other documents, are now on line on Moodle.
In particular, the following are now on Moodle –

• a list of useful websites you can use for your research
• questions you can ask university representatives
• questions you can ask students currently at university
• things to think about when reflecting on work experience or internships
• guidelines for medical school personal statements and interviews
I will keep adding information to Moodle so please check it regularly.
