Don't increase our Fees!

University leaders are trying to increase tuition fees in Northern Ireland, but students are struggling without even more debt. Sign the petition to say NO to tuition fee hikes.

We are over the moon to have been recognised in the Student Achievement Awards Ireland organised by the Union of Students in Ireland (USI). These awards are the annual opportunity for the student movement in Ireland to recognise the outstanding work of students and celebrate their contributions to the experience of their fellow students, and to wider society.

Teddy Bear Hospital

Child Health Society held their second Teddy Bear Hospital recently at the Waterside shared village in Derry/Londonderry. The student society partnered up with the Altnagelvin parents group and Western Health and Social trust. The day was a massive success with two groups of children arriving with their 'sick' teddy bears to help them get better at the hospital.
