Code of Practice

Dave Prichard / January 8, 2016 / Administration

Education Act 1994 Code of Practice

Under the 1994 Education Act, a university’s governing body has a duty to take such steps as are reasonably practicable to secure that the students’ union operates in a fair and democratic manner and is accountable for its finances. The Act also requires the governing body to prepare and issue a Code of Practice about this. The appended Code, prepared jointly by the ULSU Chief Executive and the University Secretary, quotes the relevant sections of the Act, and explains how the University and its governing body have fulfilled their responsibilities.

Having trouble sleeping?

Dave Prichard / January 8, 2016January 8, 2016 / Research

The Oxford Access for Students Improving Sleep (OASIS) study offers an effective state of the art sleep improvement programme to all students who take part. This involves a 6 week course and keeping a sleep diary. The course is delivered via the web and mobile phone. In addition you’d be required to complete online assessments. There are no face to face appointments.

We are offering this as part of a research study to find out if improving students sleep also improves their emotional wellbeing.

To find out if you’re eligible to take part, please register your interest before the 15 January on the study website and you will receive a link to a short sleep test (2 minutes): https://oasis.psych.ox.ac.uk

The OASIS study is run by Oxford University’s world-leading Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute (SCNi).
