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.
A flood caused by a heating system “failure” forced the university IT services to shut down many essential systems on Sunday night, causing problems for many students on the eve of their exams and assignment due-dates.
The classes have been held by the students' union for several years but this term attendance has soared so much that YUSU Welfare Officer Bob Hughes has announced that the sessions are moving from L/002 to a bigger room, L/036.
The free classes are run by an ex-police officer and teach students a wide range of self defence techniques, ranging from ways to protect themselves against attempted attacks to tips on how to avoid danger.
Hughes said: “The classes have previously been fairly well attended, but we are delighted that the numbers have increased even more this year, and are still going strong.
“I think these classes are incredibly important for making sure that students feel safe and secure, and feel more able to defend themselves in town and on campus.
“And to make sure these classes are backed up with real structural change in the local area, I am also working with the university and the council on providing better lighting and security measures in and around campus,” added Hughes.
The free classes welcome all, regardless of ability, and are run weekly on Friday evenings from 7.30pm-9.30pm throughout the year and will be held in L/036 for the remainder of this term.

Whilst I get your ethical point Greg, I think it's clear the article has met its legal obligations. And I suspect it's clear from the photo who the creator was.
