A group of York students has won the opportunity to have their very own I-phone application developed after winning The App Challenge final, held at the Ron Cooke Hub on Wednesday, January 18.
YUSU Welfare officer Bob Hughes has warned students to be vigilant after a student loans phishing scam has been revealed.
Her Majesty the Queen will be visiting York on Maundy Thursday, 5th April, as part of the 800th anniversary of York’s Charter for the traditional “Royal Maundy” ceremony.

Don't you think it's interesting to know what lecturers are up to outside of the uni? Especially ones as well respected as Baroness Afshar. I think it's good to be able to fit academics into a national, and even global context. And I really hope that first comment was not meant to be a serious one

She's a Baroness. Look it up in an Encyclopaedia. I don't think we need to be told that she speaks in the House of Lords. It's more of a story if she didnt - that being her job and all. But you knew that, right?
