Student newsletters

The Faculty of Science sends out two newsletters to students:

  • BSc News is sent fortnightly during semester to undergraduate students.
  • Graduate Science News is sent monthly throughout the year to graduate students.

Each newsletter contains events, workshops, scholarships, jobs, tips, opportunities, and lots more.  All current students are automatically included in the mailing list.
