Ramadan Mubarak to current, prospective and former MSc/MRes Advanced Neuroimaging students, and your loved ones!

Ramadan Mubarak to all the Muslim students, staff and alumni in our global community.

Here are some tips for students on studying and staying healthy, and guidance on how to support Muslim staff as they observe the holy month: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/mar/celebrating-ramadan-ucl-community-2023

Looking forward to meeting a new cohort of students next week, although sad to say goodbye to those who are finishing...

We know that many of our students are concerned about the rising cost of living and we are committed to supporting those in need.

Today the Students' Union UCL and UCL are announcing additional financial support for students who may need it.

We've also launched a new Cost of Living Hub with advice and practical support from across UCL: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/students/cost-living-hub

On the hub you'll find a range of information from how to loan laptops, guidance about emergency accommodation, and financial advice. We will continue to update our guidance and the hub as further support becomes available.

In case this affects you or your loved ones...

*FREE ONLINE EVENT* Under the Knife: an insight into neurosurgery 🧠

Tune in on 7 July at 6pm for Brainbuddy's next virtual talk where they will be joined by Neurosurgeon Anna Miserocchi & Neurologist John Duncan, who will be providing further insight into from their specialised point of view.

Individuals, families and friends of those who have had or are considering surgery are welcome to join and take part in the Q&A at the end.

Any voluntary donations made will go back to us so we can continue to support projects for the 1 in 6 living with a neurological condition.
