Personal information and data protection

The university is committed to improving educational processes and providing better support to our learners. We use students’ personal data to enable university staff to identify and communicate with students and to monitor academic progress. As part of this we use digital information, for example access to our libraries and use of online learning resources, to help us offer support to individuals.

This may lead to you receiving communication from your Faculty such as an email or a telephone call to offer further guidance or support with your studies.

Please contact your Faculty Helpdesk if you require any further information or support.
