  • Oxford Colleges
    Oxford colleges Oxford University is made up of different colleges. Colleges are academic communities. They are where students usually have their tutorials. Each one has its own dining hall, bar, common room and library, and lots of college groups and societies. All undergraduate students at Oxford become members of a college. Depending on your course choice, the number of colleges and halls available to you may vary (see pp 126–127). You will also be a member of the wider University. To find out how colleges and departments fit together, see p 5. Wherever you go, your course will be the same and you will be able to socialise with whomever you choose. Everyone lives in college accommodation in their first year. After that, you may decide to live with friends from your own or other colleges in rented accommodation (see pp 164–165). Even so, you will still spend lots of time in your own college, whether to attend tutorials, visit friends, have a meal, watch a film, spend time in the library or just do your washing. All colleges offer a close and supportive environment and foster the academic development and welfare of every one of their students all the time they are here. 124| Read more about choosing a college on p 163 The best thing about Oxford is the colleges. The colleges are the heart and soul of the place. They ensure that every new student has a ready-made community and tutors who see them regularly and really care about them and their academic development.

  • Bristol Aztecs 120616
    Chairman’s Welcome Welcome again to the University of Hertfordshire. The London Blitz continue their itinerant campaign facing the Bristol Aztecs, the first of the return legs to happen this season. At the last encounter, the Blitz emerged victorious 19 - 39 in a hard fought game that highlighted a number of shortcomings that would need to be worked on as the season progressed if the team were to continue in its pursuit of the national championship. So far this season has shown a greater degree of parity in the league, and all its players are enjoying the harder fought competition. This has meant that the Blitz have had to work even harder to sustain their position in British football. This is the first return to the field for the A team since a close and hard fought loss against the rival London Warriors. Though there were some positives taken from that game, the overbearing feelings were frustration and determination. These feelings will need to be applied effectively throughout the second half of the season. The Blitz never enjoy losing, and will never get in the habit of doing it. Fortunately, the B team and Under 19 teams made up for this loss with some very impressive results last weekend. The Blitz B came from behind in impressive fashion to topple the Ipswich Cardinals 32-27, in an effort that showed real determination and endurance. The Under 19 team cruised to a 60-0 victory vs. the Sussex Thunder, in a performance that really shows the skill we have coming up through the ranks.

  • Access to Higher Education for People from Less Advantaged Backgrounds in Scotland
    ACCESS IN SCOTLAND Access to higher education for people from less advantaged backgrounds in Scotland Lucy Hunter Blackburn, Gitit Kadar-Satat, Sheila Riddell and Elisabet Weedon May 2016 FOREWORD Access to universities across the UK remains a challenge despite improvements in recent years. Those challenges are still more marked in Scotland than in the other nations, as this important new report from Edinburgh University shows. This report lays bare the extent of the challenge. Scotland has a different approach to higher education. It no longer charges tuition fees, and as a result it retains a cap on student places that has been removed in England. But not only is the access gap still wider in Scotland, what progress there has been has largely been through sub-degree places in colleges. This is not to decry the contribution made by colleges: articulation, in particular, has an important role to play in improving university participation and vocational degree courses can complement higher apprenticeships as a route to employment. But any access policy which underplays the importance of access to the Ancients is an access policy that does little to change access to Scotland’s top professions. The Sutton Trust supports students at some of these great universities from low and middle income backgrounds – and programmes like our summer schools are important - and the universities themselves are making commendable efforts to boost access from across Scotland. The report notes that the policy of reserving places at the Ancients for disadvantaged students has improved their numbers at those universities, so it is vital that this policy continues.

  • Annual Report 2004/05 Introduction
    ANNUAL REPORT 2004/05 INTRODUCTION In this annual report to University Court and to the wider community, Council has tried to capture something of the flavour of an extraordinary year. History will show whether 2004/05 was a watershed, but it certainly felt as though the pace and scale of change had been turned up a notch. By way of example, in September we had the opening by Lord Sainsbury of the Dorothy Hodgkin Building for integrative neuroscience and endocrinology. In January we received confirmation that Bristol had won bids to the Higher Education Funding Council for England to establish Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning in both Chemistry and Medical Sciences. And in February came the opening by Her Majesty The Queen of the Bristol Laboratory for Advanced Dynamics Engineering (BLADE). Progress of this kind, which is doing so much to The Chairman received an Honorary keep the University at the forefront of research, enterprise and education, degree from the University in 2005. was accompanied by a welter of developments in our policies and See p 27. systems in pursuit of better services and greater efficiency. When change is taking place at such a rate and across such a broad front, it is all the more important to hold on to the things that are constant – in particular, the University’s broad aims, its values and its tried-and-tested methods. Council has been especially careful to maintain its rigorous approach to financial management issues. Thus it has continued to work hard to maintain a healthy operating surplus for the University and to exercise a level of prudence that has ensured the institution’s creditworthiness.
