New look my¹û¶³Ó°Ôº launched thanks to student feedback

13 October 2015

The start of the academic year saw the launch of a new look my¹û¶³Ó°Ôº, the all student e-newsletter.

New look my¹û¶³Ó°Ôº launched thanks to student feedback The revamped my¹û¶³Ó°Ôº arrived in student inboxes on Friday 2 October.

Over the summer, ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Communications and Marketing (CAM) held focus groups with undergraduate and postgraduate students from across the university to find out how we could make my¹û¶³Ó°Ôº more appealing and user friendly.

Collaboration

my¹û¶³Ó°Ôº was originally implemented in October 2014, in response to feedback from student focus groups conducted by ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Communications and Marketing, in which it was clear that students were frustrated by the high volume of emails they were sent from all parts of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº. We wanted to continue that collaborative approach to ensure students are being heard and their needs are being met.

Rachel Heatley, Student Communications Manager, said: "The revamp has only been possible because of input from students. I am grateful to the students who have helped us with ideas and suggestions. Our new look e-newsletter incorporates all of the student feedback and has produced a visually appealing my¹û¶³Ó°Ôº which we hope will prove both useful and popular."

my¹û¶³Ó°Ôº is read by more than 10,000 students - both undergraduate and postgraduate - per week, and reaches on average 25-30% of the potential student audience. Past issues of my¹û¶³Ó°Ôº are available to browse and download in an archive hosted on .
