Microsoft service disruption

Following the global Microsoft outage, we are beginning to see some services gradually return. However, access to Microsoft applications, including Outlook, Teams and Copilot, may remain intermittent while Microsoft continues to work on resolving the issue. You may experience occasional disruption or difficulty accessing these services. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will provide further updates as necessary.

Teaching and other University activities will continue as normal unless otherwise communicated.

Discover – What can I do with my degree?

You could begin by researching career areas which are directly related to your degree, such as psychological wellbeing practitioner, counsellor, or education mental health practitioner. There are a large variety of positions in professions related to wellbeing, and new roles are being created regularly in this expanding sector. If you want to move away from this type of work, you could also explore careers that don’t relate so directly to your degree, using the experience and transferrable skills that you have developed. Did you know that over 80% of graduate employers will recruit from any degree subject?
