The Summer Ball isn't just about the acts though. Add in the funfair, bars, entertainers, food stalls, photographers, etc plus all your friends and you're guaranteed the best way to round off the year at Christ Church! Get your tickets now!
Is your tutor the best?
Do you have totally top tutors or amazing admin staff? Let us know by nominating them for a Golden Apple! Nominations are open now!
If you’re a PhD student teacher - you could win an award too in our new category ‘Best Student Teacher’.
Protest with #CutTheCosts
The government is planning to scrap NHS Bursaries from 2017. Together we can fight and defeat these cuts that will saddle healthcare students with yet more debt.
Christ Church Students' Union will be joining the National Union of Students (NUS) on Wed 25th May for a day of lobbying at Westminster.
Would you like to come with us? www.ccsu.co.uk/yourvoice/campaigns/cutcosts/
What are your plans after uni?
It’s the worst question and everyone is asking! But fear not, the union and university are working together to ease your transition into being a fully functioning member of society.
Come along to ‘Life after Uni’, a week of workshops on social media, CV writing, interviews, employability skills and understanding your finance. Book onto the workshops via the CORE on Blackboard
The main event is on Wednesday 11 May 4-6pm in Augustine House.
Plus Nicola Ward, your President (Education & Wellbeing) is working on a Graduate Guide with loads of tips and information to help you find a job, a house, make sense of your finances and all about the benefits you get as a Christ Church alumni!
Inclusive Sports Day
Organised by Oliver Bryant, your Disabled Students’ Officer and Christ Church Sport, comes the second Inclusive Sports Day!
It’s on Saturday 23 April from 12 at the Sports Centre with loads of sports to get EVERYONE active!:
