Thank you for sharing your thoughts on AI
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Term 3 Student Feedback Survey and in our Academic Skills workshops. Your feedback has already made a difference, helping shape university discussions on how AI is used in learning, inspiring clearer guidance on academic integrity, and the launch of our new student resources on using AI.
The 91¸£Àû is proud to host a series of free public events as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science, running from 23 October to 10 November 2025. These events invite the public to engage with research that explores how society is changing – from our working lives and wellbeing to community voice and global justice.
Celebrating Academic Integrity
For the next month, we're celebrating academic integrity! Enter the creative competition for a chance to win up to £100 in shopping vouchers, and visit one of our pop-up events from today to the end of November. You can talk to our Research and Academic Support Librarians or the SU Advice Centre for tailored advice about using AI, and play games on the stands to win prizes.
Public Engagement Masterclasses
Do you want to learn to explain your research to people outside the university? Perhaps you want to engage people with your subject through hands-on learning activities? Do you want to learn to design a poster outside the traditional academic conference style? Book your place now on a public engagement masterclass on 29 October.
Many of us will be taking part in festivities and celebrations at this time of year. If you plan to include fireworks in your celebrations, this is a reminder that there are professional local displays you can attend, and to please be mindful of your neighbours when making your way home. Take a look at the local events!
